Summer brings the most comfortable conditions, with daytime highs in the 50s to 60s and rarely reaching 70°F. Nights are brisk. Mornings offer the most stable weather for hiking, as afternoon pop-up storms are common. October shifts to moody conditions with temperatures between 35 and 60 degrees. Rain and gusty winds can arrive suddenly at any time of year. The temperature difference from the lowlands is dramatic. Often 20 to 30 degrees cooler at the summit. Bring layers and a full rain fly regardless of season.
Summer temps in the 50s–60s provide a cool retreat; described as most comfortable season for camping.
