Daytime temperatures are typically in the 40s–60s°F with chilly nights dipping into the 20s–30s°F, so you get comfortable hiking weather and excellent photography light with fewer bugs. Trails are quieter than mid-summer, though big-game hunting overlaps parts of September–November, so plan dates and wear blaze orange when in-ﬁ Peak months: September, October, July, June
