Cool mountain weather makes this a summer destination. Daytime highs run mid-60s to mid-80s°F, with nights dropping into the 40s and 50s. Monsoon thunderstorms arrive July through August, bringing afternoon rain and dramatic skies. Winter access requires 4x4 and chains when ice glazes the mountain roads. Late spring through early fall offers the most reliable conditions for tent camping, with crisp mornings and sun-dappled afternoons.
