Expect daytime highs in the mid-40s to mid-60s°F (about 45–65°F) and nights often dipping into the 25–40°F range in September and early October, ideal for campfires and clear vistas along Zealand River and nearby trails. Leaf-peeping, day-hiking, riverside fishing, and wildlife viewing are at their peak while insect activity is low; crowds are lighter than high summer but weekends in Peak months: September, October, August, July Avoid: November, December, January, February
Fall called best: peak foliage, cool temps, and reviewers highlight stunning autumn conditions.
