When to visit and hours
NPS says vehicles can use State Route 148 through the monument from late May to mid October, and snow decides the exact dates[6]. NPS lists a winter season from 2026-10-15 to 2027-05-26[6]. In 2025 the busiest month was August with 141,521 recreation visits[2]. The quietest month was November with 3,316[2]. NPS describes the monument as sitting at over 10,000 feet, so be ready for cooler temperatures and changing weather[13]. NPS says summer highs run between 60 and 70°F and nights dip to the 30s and 40s°F[13]. Afternoon thunderstorms often develop, so NPS advises staying off exposed trails and overlooks until they pass[13].
