What to pack

What August feels like

Monsoon moisture keeps arriving, the creeks actually run, and the wildflower meadows on the peak are at their best. Storms can wash out trails and close roads for a day, especially down through the old Waldo Canyon burn scar, so check conditions before driving into that country.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 5 afternoons top 90°.
