Fall brings the most comfortable conditions: daytime highs in the mid-50s to mid-70s, nights dropping into the 30s and 40s. Monsoons have passed, the riparian areas below show late color, and bird activity picks up. Spring is windy. Expect gusts strong enough to matter for tent setup and awning decisions. Summer heat is manageable at this elevation but exposed sites offer zero shade. Winter is feasible if you bring your own water and don't mind occasional road closures.
Described as most comfortable season: mild days, cool nights and good foliage/viewing.
Reservation tips, booking windows, and free cancellation alerts.
