So it looks like I may be in Colorado in mid-October. Are any of the alpine loop trails closed or impassible by October? Is it doable? What are the must-see runs over 2 or three days?

That’s because we had a very early snow storm blanket most the state, it went from 95 mid afternoon to snowing and 31 degrees in Denver(in the same day), in a couple days we’ll be back to higher 80’s though. Such weird weather!Oh, and I should note that I had friends up in Telluride/Silverton last week...they left a bit early b/c of predictions of a blizzard with a couple of feet accumulation. Don't know if that materialized, but this is awfully early in the year to predict that it won't be a wet/heavy snowfall year.
Not necessarily...the warmer temps are returning after today and it's entirely possible you can run the San Juans in OctoberWe got a few inches of snow in Denver yesterday. All those trails will be closed soon if they are not already.
A couple of my kids and I might be out that way, too. Haven't decided yet. I'd be leaving the evening of the 16th or morning of the 17th of October. Thinking Moab, Colorado, Maine, or a couple other possibilities.So it looks like I may be in Colorado in mid-October. Are any of the alpine loop trails closed or impassible by October? Is it doable?

I haven’t been yet, but my three days have the following planned:So it looks like I may be in Colorado in mid-October. Are any of the alpine loop trails closed or impassible by October? Is it doable? What are the must-see runs over 2 or three days?
Assume that you are a member of the San Juan Mountain Trail Group on Facebook.I’m watching the conditions closely as I am heading that way Sunday and hope to hit the passes Tuesday to Friday. I see it’s supposed to warm up after Saturday so we shall see. Can’t cancel the trip now.
Just looked that up. I am on the San Juan jeeps group though. I adjusted my route plan last night since the telluride side of Imogene is closed. Maybe they could have it open on Thursday. Wishful thinking.Assume that you are a member of the San Juan Mountain Trail Group on Facebook.
