But if the summit is closed, I don't know if access is closed off from town or somewhere higher. Someone local may be able to answer better than I can. We literally planned our trip dates around traditional openings for the major trails, and it worked out well. I generally wouldn't plan on much up high in June, to manage your expectations. It is so beautiful, though, so by all means make the trip and see what you can.
