A group of us will be spending a few days around Leadville in early June. I've never been in that area that early in the year. We will be interested in non-technical day hiking and general sight-seeing like ghost towns and mines. What is this year looking like for snow conditions? Will 13ers and 14ers be hikeable in regular hiking boots? Other suggested day hikes? Will trailheads be accessible? 4WD roads? Cottonwood Pass area? Will afternoon thunderstorms be starting that early in the year?
I understand that weather can change fast, like a big dump of snow the day before we arrive, but I'm looking for general advice based on this year's conditions.
