Seasons
The maximum summer temperatures in June, July and August rarely exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter minimums may reach to 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. There is no frost free period and snow can be expected during any month.
Average annual precipitation is between 25 and 30 inches and occurs chiefly in the form of snow. Occasional heavy rains occur during the summer and light thunderstorms are common during the afternoons.

Summer comes late to the high country and leaves early, so our season is late-June thru mid-September. Ice-out marks the beginning of good fishing and it comes to the highest lakes as late as mid-July. Snowdrifts can also block trails above timberline until then, but there are some beautiful lake basins accessible before that. July has abundant wildflowers, great fishing, and mosquitoes. August also has great fishing, no bugs, but more visitors. September is autumn with red and yellow leaves on the aspen and willows, great stream fishing, no people, but always the threat of snow. Proper planning and equipment will help you enjoy any season.

Special Notes – High altitude
Stay hydrated – in higher altitude and dry climate your body requires more fluids. Drink lots of water, even starting before you come up to the ranch which is at 9,200 ft elevation. We always ride our horses at a walk for safety and high-altitude considerations. Enjoy the solitude and alpine beauty!
