The best time to visit Ross River is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mild and outdoor activities are at their peak.
During this period, temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), making it ideal for exploring the natural surroundings. The long daylight hours, often extending past 10 PM, provide ample opportunity for sightseeing and outdoor adventures like hiking, fishing, and boating on the Pelly and Yukon Rivers. This is also when local services and attractions are fully operational.
For those interested in wildlife viewing, late spring and early autumn, specifically May and September, can also be rewarding. While cooler, these months offer a chance to see more wildlife activity as animals prepare for the changing seasons, and the fall colors in September are particularly striking.
