What October feels like
October brings the black oaks and cottonwoods on the Valley floor into color, along with the first weather systems of the season. Tioga Road can close on a few hours' notice after a storm, so if the high country is on your list, carry a backup plan.
Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry.
