Climate & Weather

Cooper Pines sits at an elevation of approximately 960 feet.

The Gorge has 4 distinct seasons so plan your visit accordingly.
Summer and spring are the wettest months and humidity can be high especially in summer.
Spring blooms at the Gorge are beautiful with vibrant wildflowers and lush green foliage.
Summer temperatures hover in the mid to high 80s so if you are visiting in the summer, plan outdoor activities in the early mornings and late afternoons when conditions are more enjoyable.

Fall is one of the prettiest times to visit. The air is crisp and cool, and the Gorge comes to life in vibrant autumnal colors as the foliage turns to shades of crimson and gold.
Winter highs average only about 45 degrees and temperatures can get below freezing, but the Gorge becomes a true winter wonderland with snow-covered trees and frozen waterfalls this time of year.

If you plan on hiking and spending extended time outdoors, I suggest visiting in late spring (April/May) or early fall (September/October).
If you plan on climbing, visit in late spring through early fall when conditions are optimal.
