Weather and SeasonsExperience the dynamic personality of the high country, where each season paints Rex Reservoir in dramatically different hues. Winter transforms the landscape into a crystalline wonderland, with temperatures plunging below freezing and snow blanketing the pinyon pines. As spring awakens the forest, expect variable conditions with lingering snow showers giving way to mild afternoons. Summer brings bluebird days with temperatures reaching into the pleasant 80s, perfect for lakeside relaxation and trail exploration. Autumn arrives with a crisp bite in the air and golden light filtering through the trees, though early snowflakes may dust the landscape as nature prepares for winter's return.
ElevationPerched at an impressive 7,200 feet above sea level, this high-altitude haven offers a refreshing retreat from the heat of lower elevations. The thin mountain air brings naturally cooler temperatures year-round, creating perfect conditions for summer camping while delivering authentic winter wonderland experiences when snow graces the landscape. This elevation creates a unique microclimate where desert meets mountain, offering visitors a chance to experience the best of both worlds.
