Best Time to Camp at Bridges Campground

Clear mountain skies dominate the landscape 72% of the time, creating perfect conditions for stargazing and outdoor adventures. Daytime temperatures hover around a comfortable 54°F, while crisp 30°F nights invite cozy campfires and warm sleeping bags. Snow rarely touches this high-altitude haven, and gentle breezes whisper through the aspens rather than howl. Late spring through early summer reveals the canyon at its finest, when wildflowers carpet the meadows and streams run full with snowmelt.
