What to pack

What October feels like

October is when the maples and aspens along the Alpine Loop peak and the canyon drives back up badly on weekends. The first real storm usually blows through before the month is out, and the entire valley starts talking about snowpack again.

Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
