Best time to visit
Accessible May through November in most years. Being this far north (lat 44.768°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly. At 29.3 miles from the Inn, block the full day — sunrise start, late return, packed meals. Conditions at Blueberry Mountain track the nearby Potter Hill summit (1.7 mi away) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
