Help protect this resource. The weather conditions in the Lizard Head Wilderness vary greatly. Most of the snow is generally gone from the major trails by June 15, although the higher passes will often remain snow-packed until late July. June is generally a dry month, but during July and August you may expect severe afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Snow is not uncommon after the first of September.
All weather conditions are more intense at higher elevations.
FIRE Forest fire is a severe threat to all Wilderness values in many areas, and every Visitor must be extremely cautious when using fire in any way. Use existing fire sites whenever possible. Keep fires small. Conserve wood, especially where scarce and in heavy use areas consider the alternative of a light weight stove. Clear a circle around the fire down to mineral soil.
