Summer Weather in Montana
Montana weather is changeable, and summertime is no exception. The usual summer climate is warm and dry, with pleasant daytime temperatures ranging from 65°F to 85°F. After the sun sets, the air cools rapidly to below 50°F and can dip to freezing.
We can expect afternoon thunder showers almost any day with occasional prolonged rainstorms that can last for several hours. Please bring rain and mud gear in order to ensure that your stay is comfortable.
King Arthur’s Court is at an altitude of about 5,200 feet. If you are coming from sea level, drink lots of water and give your body time to acclimate to the higher altitude.
