Fall offers the best balance of comfortable weather, dramatic prairie color, and lower crowds. Daytime highs in September and October typically run from the upper 50s to low 80s°F, with crisp nights dropping into the 30s to 50s°F. Grasses, yuccas, and sand plums take on warm golds and russets. Cooler temperatures make biking the sandy trails far more pleasant than summer. Spring brings wildflowers and moderate temps. Summer can be sweltering on the exposed sand. Winter dips below freezing and attracts few visitors, though the park stays open with limited amenities.
Spring offers wildflowers and birding; good conditions for trails and wildlife viewing.
