In elevation, you have to be prepared for sleet or snow anytime of the year. It’s snowed on me on beartooth pass and pikes peak in July. I’ve also ridden the same highways in summer in short sleeves in the 60’s.

Mid September it will be green and you might start to see fall colors.

We use to camp in Silverton when the mine was still operating.
Off roading
