Weather and SeasonsSummer is the primary season here. Daytime highs run mid-60s to upper-80s, with nights dropping into the 40s and 50s. Late summer brings the warmest river temperatures for swimming and the lowest, clearest flows for fishing. Trails dry out and stay accessible through the season. Weekend crowds pick up around summer holidays. Wildfire smoke can move through the area during dry spells.
