Highland ranger stations
During the summer, national park rangers conduct patrols and provide educational services in the park's highland areas. The opening times of the stations vary from area to area, with the first rangers arriving when the relevant highland roads are opened, soon after the middle of June, and the last rangers leaving at the end of September.
The rangers are based in ranger stations that are situated in the park's highlands or near the park's boundaries. Most of the ranger stations are in or in close vicinity of mountain huts.
