What August feels like
Storms keep rolling through, and the wildflowers up on Molas and Coal Bank passes are worth the drive on US 550. Evenings cool off fast at this elevation, so a patio in high summer still wants a layer.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
