Notch Report

If summer is winding down, we didn't get the memo! It's been warm and beautiful in the park this week and it looks like we're going to see more of the same as we head into the weekend! Make your adventure plans and get up here!

Weather: We've got temps in the mid-70s on deck for the weekend. Friday is looking like the best beach day, so be sure to make a reservation online prior to visiting! Some clouds will move in for Saturday and Sunday, but rain doesn't look likely other than Sunday morning. 

Hiking: Friday looks clear and warm, so if you're able to extend your weekend, that's the best looking hike day! Saturday will be comfortable but with cloudier skies in the forecast. We may see some passing showers Sunday morning, so if you're planning to be out there, have the proper gear and keep an eye on the weather. Check the Higher Summits forecast below for details on weather up in the mountains and along the Ridge.
Higher Summits Forecast - Even when the forecast looks amazing, always check the weather in the mountains before heading out! 
Hike Safe - Recreate responsibly and know before you go!
