Weather notes
Summer temperatures generally range from the mid-30s to the mid-60s. Extremes beyond that range are possible, and it can snow any month of the year. We recommend you bring a sleeping bag rated to 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) if tent camping. Rain is common in summer. Mosquitoes are a nuisance from early June through early August in most years.
