What October feels like
The dark-sky ordinance here means the streetlights point down, and October's long clear nights are the payoff — Lowell Observatory books out on weekends. As soon as the sun goes behind the Peaks the temperature falls off a cliff, so carry more layers than the afternoon suggests.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 18 nights dip below freezing.
