What August feels like
August is the wet month, and everyone here has an opinion about which berry patch is worth the drive up the Glenn. The silvers come into Ship Creek and Bird Creek, and you get real darkness back for the first time since spring.
Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
