What to pack

What September feels like

September is quietly the rainiest month here, which nobody expects, and it comes in bursts rather than drizzle. It's also when the aspens light up along the Million Dollar Highway — the run to Silverton and Ouray is the best three hours of driving in the state.

Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
