The most comfortable time to go is July, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run to a high of 72°F and a low of 47°F, with June and August close behind. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the hike's high point, so its figures are a fair guide for conditions on the trail. Winters are cold, with January highs typically around 31°F.
