Best Time to Camp at Balsam (Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Ut)
At 6,000 feet elevation, Balsam Campground experiences the delightful temperature swings characteristic of mountain camping. July days warm the forest floor with summer sunshine, perfect for outdoor adventures, while evenings bring a refreshing mountain chill that makes gathering around the campfire and snuggling into sleeping bags all the more inviting. Pack layers—you'll shed them by noon and reach for them again as stars emerge in the crisp night sky.
