That was the Summer that was …
Now that the Meadows have donned their winter mantle it is time to reflect on the 2022 season. 2022 has been a very different “summer” season. We had more or less 4 months of clear trails in the Subalpine, from late July to late October, roughly a month later than “normal” or at least in the past 4-5 years. While in most years we expect to have the Wilderness Centre open by mid June, 2022 saw a deeper than average snow-pack and a longer cool period through April and May, so that there was still snow on the boardwalks in Paradise Meadows in early July. And over in the Buttle area of the Park the winter storms wreaked havoc in the campsites and trails, with hundreds of fallen trees and limbs blocking access.
