Best Time to Camp at Cottonwood Cabin

Experience the dramatic seasonal transformations of the Cascade wilderness throughout the year. Summer brings golden days perfect for hiking and river activities, with warm sunshine filtering through the forest canopy. As winter arrives, the landscape transforms into a pristine wonderland blanketed in snow, offering crystal-clear skies ideal for stargazing. The remarkable diversity of the region means you might experience the lush, rain-soaked forests of the western slopes (averaging 140 inches annually) or venture east to discover sun-drenched landscapes that see just 10 inches of precipitation each year.
