Best Time to Camp at O'Hara Saddle Campground

Winter transforms O'Hara Saddle into a pristine wonderland, where temperatures regularly dip into the 20s and fresh snowfall blankets the meadows. Expect crisp, cold conditions with daytime highs hovering around freezing (33.7°F) and nighttime lows plunging to 21°F. The ridge top location means you'll experience the full force of mountain weather, with moderate snowfall accumulations of 4-5 inches creating a stunning alpine landscape that rewards the hardy adventurer.
