DECIDE FIRST

Choose red maple, yellow ginkgo, silver grass or a mountain edge; they peak differently and need different walking conditions.

FIELD FLOW

Four steps instead of a frozen calendar

  1. 1Enter the actual travel date and region; a national season label is not a local condition.
  2. 2Open the official forecast and the operator notice before paying for a weather-dependent activity.
  3. 3Save one indoor or lower-exposure fallback in the same district.
  4. 4After visiting, record the real place and date in Footprints and report a changed condition to the community.

PACK

Pack for the exposure

  • Carry a layer for wind after sunset.
  • Use grip for wet leaves and stone paths.
  • Keep one central indoor reservation flexible.

STOP SIGNALS

What overrides the itinerary

  • A severe-weather, flood, wind-wave, heavy-snow, heat or cold alert overrides the itinerary.
  • Closed gates, barriers, lifeguard instructions and transport suspensions are final even when another app looks clear.
  • Turn back for worsening visibility, numbness, confusion, heat-illness symptoms, lightning, unstable surf or ice.

DEVICE-ONLY PLAN

Plan the good-weather day and the bad-weather day

The season is a planning bucket, not a local forecast. Reopen KMA and the operator notice on the day.
