What to pack

What August feels like

Late August is when the earliest sparkling fruit gets picked, usually at night under floodlights, which is worth staying up for once. It is fire-season weather too, and every local watches the ridgelines when the wind gets up.

Rain is genuinely rare — most years, August stays dry start to finish.
