The UHT is usually not passable until early/mid July, as a couple of steep, north-facing passes (Dead Horse and Red Knob) hold lingering snowpack. By mid-late September, snow usually returns to the mountains.
During July and August, the daily monsoonal thunderstorm pattern can be intense. Hikers are advised to plan modest-sized days and do most of their hiking in the morning, aiming to be below treeline by noon, when the thunderstorms start firing up.
Resupply
Most hikers will not need to resupply on a trail this short, and resupply would be enormously inconvenient.
