Best season: fall. Fall offers the best balance of comfortable daytime temperatures (typically in the 45–65°F / 7–18°C range at ~5,900 ft), crisp nights (often dipping into the 30s°F / near freezing) and reduced summer crowds, making it ideal for relaxed first-come, first-served camping. Foliage color, cooler hiking weather, and generally more stable late-season conditions make it great for photography, day hikes, and campfire evenings (subject to local fire restrictions). Expect fewer weekend crowds than peak-sum Peak months: September, October, June, July Avoid: December, January, February
Seasonal note: 'Fall delivers the most comfortable camping conditions.'
