What October feels like
Facilities shut through October and the interior roads close to cars at the start of November, so the month runs out underneath you. What you get in exchange is empty pullouts, cold clear light on the travertine at Mammoth, and the first snow squalls sweeping through Lamar.
Winter is doing its thing: 4.7 in of snow in a typical October, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 19 nights dip below freezing.
