Best Time to Camp at Horsethief Campground
The high desert climate here dances between extremes, keeping visitors on their toes throughout the year. Spring and fall bring crisp, invigorating air punctuated by notorious canyon winds that can test your tent stakes and send tumbleweeds racing across camp. Summer transforms the landscape into a sun-baked wonderland where shade becomes precious and early morning adventures are rewarded with comfortable temperatures. Winter occasionally dust the pygmy forest with snow, creating a magical contrast against red rock formations while temperatures can plunge below freezing, turning breath into clouds and water bottles into ice.
Very hot with little shade in summer; seasonally less comfortable.
Fall is a top season: crisp air and active trails though windy at times.
Spring is busy and favorable for visits, though canyon winds are common.
Cold temperatures and possible snowfall; requires preparation for winter camping.
