Best Time to Camp at Three Creeks Meadow Horse Camp

Summer arrives late but gloriously at this elevation, with the camping season typically opening in mid-June as wildflowers burst into bloom across the meadows. Through September, you'll enjoy crisp mountain mornings that warm to perfect riding temperatures by midday, with afternoon thunderstorms occasionally rolling through to water the meadows and clear the air. Come October, golden aspens signal the approaching winter, when deep snows transform this landscape into a silent wonderland accessible only to the most intrepid winter adventurers.
