What to pack

What January feels like

The stillest, driest stretch of the year up here — what snow does fall tends to vanish into the sun rather than melt into slush. Garden of the Gods is at its best now: no shuttle, no wait for the lot, and the red rock looks better against a cold sky anyway.

Winter is doing its thing: 4.9 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 4 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
