Best Time to Camp at Alder Springs
Summer transforms Alder Springs into a cool mountain refuge, with daytime temperatures dancing between a crisp 40°F in the early morning to a comfortable 65°F by afternoon—perfect for hiking without the valley's oppressive heat. Crystal-clear skies dominate the peak season, painting endless blue canvases above the forest canopy. As autumn approaches, the campground prepares for its winter slumber when the McKenzie Pass Highway closes to vehicles, leaving these ancient forests to rest beneath blankets of snow until spring's return.
Described as 'perfect for summer'; cool mountain refuge (40–65°F) and highway access.
Likely accessible until highway closure; limited fall-specific information provided.
Spring access depends on highway opening; conditions often limited by snow/closures.
McKenzie Highway often closed in winter; campground primarily warm-season.
