Best Time to Camp at Handcart
Summer transforms Handcart into a camper's paradise, with crystal-clear skies gracing the landscape nearly 55% of the time. While temperatures can dip to a crisp 15°F during cool mornings, afternoons warm to a comfortable 38°F, creating perfect conditions for both adventure and relaxation. The moderate chance of snow (28%) adds a touch of alpine magic to the experience, though savvy campers will find the driest weeks offer the most spectacular stargazing opportunities under those famously clear mountain skies.
Open and peak season in summer; 'camper's paradise' with clear skies ~55% of the time.
Open into mid‑September; early fall likely pleasant but season ends Sept 20, limiting late-fall access.
Season opens May 9; spring access is limited and subject to road conditions and cold mornings.
Campground less accessible in winter; road closures and seasonal closure implied.
