Bad weather isn\u2019t bad \u2013 it\u2019s just different. Mountain weather changes quickly, and that\u2019s part of its nature. On days when it\u2019s in one of those moods, it can be lovely to head out for a shorter walk and combine your outdoor time with indoor activities \u2014 or with things that aren\u2019t quite so dependent on clear skies and calm winds. Here are a few tips for days when it feels right to stay a little sheltered from the elements. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
