The best time to go to Rampart is during the summer months, from late May to early September, when the weather is mildest and outdoor activities are most accessible.
During these months, the temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C). This period is ideal for travelers interested in exploring the outdoors, as the long daylight hours—often 20 hours or more—provide ample time for fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The Yukon River is free of ice, allowing for boat travel and fishing expeditions.
For those interested in fishing, particularly for salmon, the peak season is usually July and August. These months offer the best chances for a successful catch and a more pleasant experience on the river.
