Best Time to Camp at Seely Creek Guard Station

At 10,000 feet, Mother Nature keeps you on your toes with her ever-changing moods. Summer days bring warm sunshine perfect for hiking, though afternoon thunderstorms can roll in quickly, painting dramatic skies above the plateau. As September arrives, don't be surprised to wake up to a dusting of snow or the gentle patter of hail on the cabin roof. Winter transforms this alpine paradise into a snow-covered wonderland, where temperatures plunge and the landscape becomes a playground for snowmobilers and backcountry skiers willing to embrace the mountain's wintry embrace.
