Winter gives you the clearest, darkest skies for the park's excellent stargazing. Especially around the January star parties. While daytime highs are comfortable for hiking. Expect daytime temperatures around 50–65°F and brisk nights around 25–40°F at the 4,583 ft elevation, so bring warm layers for evening programs. Trails are generally quiet (astronomy visitors spike on event nights) and interpretive programs and geology walks run at their best in crisp, stable weather. Spring and fall deliver ideal hiking temperatures for all-day exploration. Summer mornings and evenings work fine, but midday sun on exposed trails gets brutal. Reviewers emphasize bringing plenty of water, a hat, and sun protection. Even on hot days, you'll want a jacket once the sun sets.
Clearest, darkest skies and comfortable daytime hiking in winter; star parties in January.
