Seasonal Overview
Summer highs sit in the upper 70s with cool nights in the 40s. Fall color peaks along Highway 14 in late September, and the crowds thin out. Winter drops 80 to 100 inches of snow on the plateau. Spring opens the mountain gradually, with some trails and roads still gated through May.
Park-focused trips work best from late May through October. Cabin trips and snow stays have more flexibility, but check Highway 14 conditions before you drive up.
