What October feels like
The aspens along Aspen Vista on NM 475 peak in the first half of the month and the road up fills with slow cars, so go early on a weekday. Down in town the mornings frost the courtyard tables and the afternoons are perfect, which is the trade Santa Fe makes in every good month.
Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry. about 5 nights dip below freezing.
