Enjoy it as part of our 360 Sightseeing Experience across two mountains, with 50+ km of hiking trails available at the height of summer (trail availability expands as snowmelt continues throughout early summer), stunning vistas, and an ever-changing landscape from blooming wildflowers to ancient glaciers,” the update stated.
