May is a beautiful month with lush greenery and full waterfalls. Temperatures are comfortable, but rainfall increases. It's a popular time to visit, but not as crowded as summer. The scenery is vibrant and ideal for photography.
Light layers, waterproof jacket, quick-dry pants, and hiking boots. Bring an umbrella or rain poncho. Insect repellent for occasional bugs.
Labor Day holiday can bring crowds; book tickets and hotels in advance. Expect rain showers; trails may be slippery. Start early to avoid peak hours.
