What October feels like
The Wissahickon turns properly gold in the third week — a genuine gorge inside city limits that most visitors never hear about. Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary sells out weekends all month.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
