We are looking at visiting in September. How was the weather in the day and night? Was it hot? Thanks!

[@AnJrue32]

Weather was great! Highs in the mid to high 70s and lows in the 50s. Short sleeves were appropriate while hiking (it honestly didn't get too hot) and a light jacket for night time was perfect!

[@austinstitzel]

I'm going to guess that you are a Scorpio.

[@AnJrue32]

I don’t get it
