Spring brings the best conditions: highs around 60–75°F, cool mornings in the 40s–50s, and firm trails after winter rains but before summer dust. Wildflowers peak during these months, and wildlife is active. Summer temperatures climb to 90–100°F with intense heat and dust. Winter can bring freezing nights and occasional snow at higher elevations in the park. Rain showers punctuate spring and fall.
