Winter time offers excellent opportunities for lake viewing and phtography. However, picture-perfect days with lake views are not the average experience in winter. The lake is obscured 50% of the season by clouds and snowstorms. The three-mile road to the the rim, beginning from the visitor center, temporarily closes when the road is not safe to travel. Even on a clear day when the lake is visible, a prior snowstorm or icy conditions could delay opening the gate for uphill traffic to Rim Village and lake views.
