- Spring can vary from sunny and hot, to cool and wet. Higher elevations are still laden with snow, but lower elevations are fresh, green and full of wonder.
- Summer is typically hot but higher elevations are cool and weather can shift quickly so carry appropriate clothing.
- Fall changes to cooler nights, but days are still plenty warm to relax on the beach or do a ride in the mountains or on the road
