Hello, I'm be doing an overnight trail near Quinault Lake the last weekend in July. We'll probably be camping at about 3,500ft. Most of my mountain experience is in the Rockies, where even 6,000ft is not much different temperature than 2,000ft. So my question is: can I expect temperatures at 3,500ft to be similar to the weather forecast for nearby towns at 500ft? It may seem like a silly question, but I'm seeing snow reports at much lower elevations in the Olympics vs what I'm used to in the Rockies. In CO I wouldn't bother packing a jacket at 6,000ft, but should I pack one in WA? Thank you!
