We are going at the beginning of October. (8-11th) Went last year at the same time. Great Elk watching during that time. Last year Trail Ridge Rd was closed by then at Rainbow Curve. We had light snow multiple mornings. That makes for great morning pictures during hikes. The weather changes very quickly in October out there. Be prepared for cold and warm in the same day.
We are early hikers. (start at 6 or 7am) and watch wildlife in the evening. Usually less crowds and easier to park.
The stores and restaurants close earlier in October. There is not as much help and less crowds in town. Not sure how covid will affect that this year.
