Weather

General conditions in the Rocky Mountains for June, July, August, and September. The bugs (mosquitoes) will be present in July and early August, particularly in around water sources and on the western portion of the hike. August brings fewer bugs and cooler evenings. September generally has the fewest bugs, although, we did have some this past year, and coolest nights. The weather is warm during the day, 60’s. The evenings will be in the 30’s – 50’s depending upon the altitude and month. Afternoon thunderstorms are almost a daily occurrence. Storms are generally strong and brief lasting less than 60 minutes. Lightning often accompanies storms, so we make sure we are below tree line after 2 pm. Windy conditions can be common above tree line. As in any big mountain chain, snow can come as at any time or month during the year, even summer.

Group Size

Groups can range from 4 to 100+. Each vehicle can seat 13 participants and 2 guides. Our normal guide ratio is 1 guide for 6 participants. Please inquire about groups less than 4 people including individual guided tours.
