The closest weather station is at Wahweap, about 2.7 miles away, and that is the nearest named community in the record. A fee is charged for activities in the recreation area. For comfortable conditions, spring and fall work best: typical averages from the nearby Wahweap station put April highs around 73°F and October highs around 74°F, while July averages near 99°F. That station sits at a similar elevation, so its figures are a fair guide to conditions here.
