The Visitor Center is open year-round, but be aware that the opening times can vary by season. As with most NPS Visitor Centers, you can expect rangers, exhibits, and a bookstore. The visitor center is located near multiple hiking trails, including Gunnison Route and Tomichi Route that require Wilderness Permits which are available in limited quantities here. There is also a self-registration kiosk for this purpose in case the Visitor Center is closed. Keep in mind that during the summer the parking lot might be full.
