Three Trails Worth the Drive This Week — June 3–10

Three picks for June 3–10, each with a time-bounded reason to go now. Moraine Lake (Banff NP, AB) just opened its 2026 shuttle season — partially frozen with developing turquoise water and snow-covered peaks. Dark Hollow Falls (Shenandoah NP, VA) is at peak flow during early-June rhododendron bloom, 75 miles from D.C., no permit required. Slough Creek Trail (Yellowstone NP, WY) is the only snow-free route into Lamar Valley's active predator season — grizzlies, wolves, and red-dog bison calves — with no timed-entry reservation needed.

Three Trails Worth the Drive This Week — May 20–27

Mist Trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls (Yosemite NP, CA) is at peak flow with the JMT Ice Cut forcing everyone onto the spray corridor — last full weekday access window before June 30 maintenance closures. Hoh Rain Forest's Hall of Mosses and Spruce Nature Trail (Olympic NP, WA) sit in a rare sunny late-May gap before summer crowds and metered entry arrive in mid-June. Emerald Lake Trail via Bear Lake (RMNP, CO) is in the first week of the Timed Entry+ system — shoulder-season ice still on the lakes, competition for slots light, and pre-dawn entry free.
