Best to go in October or late April. Not very busy but the snow is still on the ground. Absolutely beautiful. Take Needles Highway through if you can.

Great area! We camped squeezed our 21ft RV through the tightest of places...barely. Needles highway was great! We camped and swam at lake Sylvan, hiked and camped through the French Creek Natural Area...lot's of crossing the same stream; we crossed it 31 times from the west trailhead to Fishermans Flats. It's absolutely beautiful down there, we didn't see any hikers in 2 days, and only a handful of horseback riders, but this is a very tough hike as the trail is not very well signed along the way regarding distances. Camping is dispersed, just have to follow the rules regarding site placement.
