Best Time to Camp at Hoyer

Summer in this mountain paradise brings daytime temperatures that feel like nature's air conditioning, a welcome relief from Arizona's desert heat below. Late June through August transforms afternoons into nature's drama as thunderclouds build over the peaks, bringing refreshing rain showers that nurture the forest. Even in summer, evenings invite you to gather around the campfire with a warm jacket as mountain breezes whisper through the pines.
