Best season: fall. Fall offers the nicest balance of comfortable daytime temperatures, fewer bugs, and peak foliage on riparian and deciduous trees (poplars often show bright color), making it the most rewarding time for photography, hiking, and quiet camping. Expect crisp days and cool nights—roughly daytime highs in the 50s–70s°F (10–25°C) and nights dipping into the 30s–50s°F (0–10°C), though ranges depend on elevation and region—so bring warm layers for evenings. Crowds are typically lighter than midsummer, so Peak months: October, September, May, June
Explicitly noted as 'Best season: fall' with peak foliage and comfortable temps.
