What August feels like
August is when the colors start here, far earlier than anywhere south, and the bears work the berry patches along the trails — give them room and make noise. Real darkness returns by the end of the month, and with it the first chance of aurora over the range.
Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
