What August feels like
Storms come through often enough that locals check the sky before committing to a Fourteener, and the trailheads fill with people doing exactly that. Nights turn properly cold up here even in high summer — the cabin blanket is not decoration.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
