What to pack

What October feels like

Fall color in Oak Creek Canyon peaks toward the end of the month and the drive down 89A from Flagstaff becomes a slow-moving parade — take a weekday if you possibly can. In town this is the busiest and most beautiful month, and the hotel rates say so.

Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry.
