Best Times

Christmas Meadows is only really accessible for about 5 months out of the year, so anytime

you can get there during summer and fall is a good time. It’s a popular camping and hiking

destination (Amethyst Lake Trailhead starts here), and even though there are only 11 camping

sites, the campground itself can feel crowded at times.

The meadow is green and lush in the summer, but I personally like fall better. There are

burgundy and gold. There’s also a chance that a bull moose with a big rack could make an

appearance. In the late fall, you might get really lucky and be the only one there.
