Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic dance of Idaho's mountain seasons at this wilderness outpost. Winter transforms the landscape into a crystalline wonderland, with snow gracing the peaks and valleys during nearly one in five winter days, creating opportunities for serene snow camping and wildlife tracking. As summer arrives, the mountains shed their white coat to reveal warm, sun-drenched days perfect for hiking and exploration, all while enjoying the refreshingly dry mountain air that makes summer camping here particularly comfortable.
