However, a new hotel runs the risk of not being ready in time - and it could ruin your holiday or even delay it. Tim Hentschel, co-Founder booking platform HotelPlanner advises waiting a few weeks before being one of the first to visit.

Why the Pacific Crest Trail will be more dangerous than ever this year
The Pacific Crest Trail draws thousands of people from all experience levels annually. Some are thru-hikers hoping to complete the 2,650-mile trek through California, Oregon and Washington (from the Mexican border to Canada), in one journey, while others are weekend backpackers and day hikers taking on smaller sections of the trail. The hikers regularly contend with challenges like hypothermia, heat exhaustion, poisonous plants, lightning, bears and rattlesnakes, along with wildfires and other impacts of climate change . But this year, experts warn, hikers face one of the greatest risks in the trail’s history: the record-setting Sierra Nevada snowpack . "These large snowpacks can be susceptible to fast melt if the weather conditions are right," Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the Central Sierra Snow Lab , told SFGATE.

Th e 63-year-old interior designer and businesswoman - best known for appearing on BBC Two's Dragons' Den - admitted she missed routine mammogram appointments for eight years running before her cancer was found. When she finally scheduled a long-overdue appointment last September, Kelly was shocked to be diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) . This meant some cells in the lining of the milk ducts in her breasts had turned cancerous, but the disease has not yet spread into the surrounding breast tissue. She had the cancer cells removed from the ducts - "an awful procedure which made me feel very sore," she said. “(My doctor) explained that I’d been very fortunate indeed: DCIS is the very mildest form of cancer,” Kelly shared.
