Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and regular snowfall require warm coats for pets and paw protection from salt and ice. Winter inversions trap pollution in the valley, so monitor air quality before long walks. Higher-elevation trails may be snow-packed.

Spring

38°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Snowmelt creates muddy trail conditions at lower elevations and runoff can make streams dangerous. Spring wildflowers in the foothills are beautiful for hikes. Temperatures can swing 30 degrees in a single day, so layer appropriately.

Summer

62°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and dry at valley level, but mountain canyons offer cooler retreats. Carry extra water as pets dehydrate faster at altitude. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in the mountains, so start hikes early and watch for lightning.
