Fall brings the most comfortable conditions: daytime temperatures between 50 and 70°F, nights dropping to 30–45°F. Wildlife activity peaks along the creeks during this season, and weekday crowds are lighter than summer. Winter brings snow and colder temperatures that require warm gear. Summer offers clear skies but hotter days. Reviewers note fly infestations during certain seasons, especially near the creek, so bring bug spray. Fire restrictions often apply. Check current regulations before your trip.
