Even if it's too snowy to get up to RMNP or Estes, I think you should be able to do some nice hikes closer to Denver or Boulder (Chataqua in boulder or Green Mountain near denver).

It gets chilly quickly in October up in the mountains with or without snow anyways. Same for hiking or rock climbing in the fall (Boulder county area).
Denver Halloween Snow Statistics Through 2007

IF YOU EXAMINE ONLY OCTOBER 31ST...SNOW HAS ONLY FALLEN 10 TIMES (WHICH INCLUDES TRACE AMOUNTS) DURING THE PAST 54 YEARS OF WHICH 8 OF THE DAYS HAD MEASURABLE SNOWFALL. THIS WORKS OUT TO BE ABOUT ONCE EVERY 7 YEARS. HOWEVER...IF YOU INCLUDE THE DAYS THAT HAD SNOW ON THE GROUND ON OCTOBER 31ST BUT NO SNOW ACTUALLY FELL DURING THE TRICK OR TREAT TIMES (5PM -8PM), YOU CAN ADD IN AN ADDITIONAL 8 TIMES. THEN...TO THIS TOTAL....IF YOU INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF TIMES SNOW FELL ON NOVEMBER 1ST, THIS INCREASES THE TOTAL BY 5, WHICH WILL NOW BRING THE GRAND TOTAL OF SNOW DAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERIOD OCTOBER 31 THROUGH NOVEMBER 1ST TO 23 TIMES. SINCE THIS TOTAL EQUATES TO APPROXIMATELY 43 PERCENT OF THE TIME DURING THE 54 YEAR PERIOD...ALMOST HALF OF THE TIME...IT IS NO WONDER THAT PEOPLE THINK OF SNOW WHEN HALLOWEEN IS DISCUSSED IN DENVER.

SNOW WAS DEFINITELY UPON US ON THE OLD WITCHES AND GHOSTS EVENING DURING 2004. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU WERE...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AROUND NORTHEAST COLORADO RANGED FROM 0.3 INCHES AT GREELEY UP TO 14.5 INCHES AT ASPEN PARK. THE DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT REPORTED 1.4 INCHES. AS FORECAST...THE AREA STARTED OFF WITH RAIN AROUND 6PM WHICH THEN QUICKLY CHANGED TO SNOW. BY 8PM...ONLY SNOW WAS FALLING. HERE ARE SOME OF THE SNOWFALL REPORTS FROM AROUND THE DENVER METRO AREA: BAILEY 7.0 INCHES... LARKSPUR 6.5 INCHES...EVERGREEN 5.0 INCHES... AURORA 4.3 INCHES...CHATFIELD RESERVOIR 6.9 INCHES...THORNTON 2.8 INCHES... LAFAYETTE 1.5 INCHES...SEDALIA 10.0 INCHES...JAMESTOWN 6.5 INCHES...BOULDER 2.8 INCHES...MORRISON 5.5 INCHES... ENGLEWOOD 5.0 INCHES...DENVER 3.7 INCHES...CASTLE ROCK 6.8 INCHES AND .CENTENNIAL RECORDED 8.0 INCHES.

You're agreeing with me correct? Lol, just wondering because the text says you're agreeing with me but the caps locks says otherwise.

I copied it straight from the link. That's how it's written. Go check if you wish.

Amazing what you can do with "Change Case" in MS Word.

Well, in October we could get one of those storms where people cross-country ski across City Park to get to work.

We visited EP and RMNP last October. It was chilly, but still do-able. The weather can really do anything in October. Bring layers.
