What October feels like
By mid-month the color is gone, the Maroon Bells road closes for the season, and a good share of the restaurants shut until Thanksgiving. If you want an empty, cheap Aspen with good hiking on the lower trails, this is the window — just don't expect much open after dark.
Winter is doing its thing: 10.2 in of snow in a typical October, with fresh snow on about 4 days. about 19 nights dip below freezing.
