What to pack

What October feels like

The other great month here, and everyone knows it — Springdale is full, the shuttle line at the visitor center is long by mid-morning, and it's worth it anyway. Nights get cold enough for a real jacket, and the color along the river peaks toward the end of the month.

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