What October feels like
The rain finally backs off in October, which is part of why the whole region drives up here at once. Color starts on the highest ridges early in the month and works its way down to town by the end; the Parkway becomes a slow parade on weekends, so go on a Tuesday or go at sunrise.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
