Warming temperatures have caused rapid changes in the high peaks and DEC is urging caution for hikers.

DEC Officials say water levels at stream crossings can rise throughout the day and become impassable on your way out, even if it was passable on your way in. They say hikers should be prepared to wait it out, even if it means an extra night camping.
