Historical Significancenull
Weather and SeasonsExperience the full drama of the changing seasons at Ten Mile, where each time of year paints the landscape with its own unique palette. Winter transforms the campground into a pristine wonderland, though heavy snowfall may temporarily close access roads—call ahead during cold months. Spring's arrival brings the awakening of wildflowers and rushing creek waters, while summer delivers those perfect, warm days that stretch well into evening. Come autumn, crisp mornings give way to golden afternoons, creating ideal conditions for hiking and wildlife watching.
ElevationPerched at 4,020 feet above sea level, Ten Mile campground offers that sweet spot where mountain air feels refreshingly crisp without leaving you breathless. This elevation creates a natural climate buffer—expect cooler temperatures than the valleys below, especially during summer's heat. The altitude also means weather can change quickly, so pack layers and be prepared for mountain conditions that can shift from sunshine to showers in the span of an afternoon.
Natural Features and SceneryTen Mile Creek serves as the campground's centerpiece, its crystal-clear waters creating peaceful pools and gentle riffles that beckon tired feet after a day on the trail. The surrounding landscape opens up a world of outdoor pursuits—from challenging hikes that reveal panoramic vistas to quiet hunting grounds where patience is rewarded. Horse riders will find endless trails threading through diverse terrain, while the creek itself offers moments of tranquil reflection and the soothing sounds of flowing water that lull campers to sleep under star-filled skies.
