UPDATE 07/19: Saturday higher summits forecast update: We are predicting high winds averaging 60-80mph for most of the day, with the potential for sudden gusts over 100mph. There will be periods of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms that may bring localized flooding and dangerous water crossings along various trails throughout the region. There is also a high probability of hail formation.
Given these extremely dangerous conditions, we are asking Seek the Peak participants not to hike on Saturday, and are canceling Seek the Peak summit weather station tours for the day. Tour passes will be issued to all participants at registration. Sunday will bring a return to favorable hiking conditions, with cooler temperatures, calm winds, and partly sunny skies. We strongly urge all participants to hike on Sunday.
Today’s registration and kick-off party at the Weather Discovery Center will occur as planned. Come on down and get your incentives and goodie bags! Saturday’s expo, annual meeting and after party are still on, but might be adjusted slightly earlier or later if conditions warrant.
Please watch for updates via email, Facebook, and this page, and share this information with others you are hiking with. Let's all help each other stay safe and have fun out there!
