Frisco area next week-end?
We are thinking of a last minute package (flight and hotel)deal for 4 days in the area. We are interested in doing some hiking and my husband would like to trout fish. However, if it is already totally winter-like, we aren't interested as our purpose for the trip is to do some outdoor activities. Are all the leaves down now? I know you can't forecast the weather, but is the 3rd week-end in Oct. typically more winter like than fall-like? If you can help out, I'd appreciate it.

My bet is that someone is going to tell you that those from San Francisco hate to hear it called Frisco 
I heard that the weather is lovely and still sort of warm .. try doing a text search, see what is going on this week on the boards regarding San Francisco
Good luck, have a good time~

It's cool today and more cool predicted for tomorrow. Snow in the mountains last night, so everyone's excited about some ski areas opening this weekend. The Fall colors peaked last weekend, I think. So, if you really would be disappointed by wintry weather, don't gamble on it. Otherwise, it's a beautiful time of year. (Of course, it's always beautiful in Colorado!)

Julies, Scarlett is correct.... not "Frisco" please. It is San Francisco, or SF or to the locals in the Bay Area "the city".
Just thought I would back up Scarlett's thoughts so when you arrive you do not get a big snarl from a local.

If you are talking about Colorado, it may already have snowed too much for your trip. I haven't been to the mountains this week, but the weather in Denver has been in the 50's & 60's, so it most likely snowed more in the mountains.

Hi Julies, I live in Summit County. While it snowed (about 5 inches yesterday and a little more expected tonight) I think you can enjoy the activities you are interested in. The snow around Frisco and Dillon is disappearing fast, the rivers are flowing, and you can hike and fly fish.
The fall leaves are mostly down here, but last weekend I drove down to Denver and found them aburst at about 7,000 feet. I bet you will see them between Denver and Idaho Springs. It is cold (will get to 49 today) but the weekend should be warmer and without snow.

julies, specifying a topic just allows your post to come up in a search for (in this case) Colorado. It still appears on the general US board, with no indication of whatever topic you assigned to it.

Since I read through all posts and don't check them out state by state, like others my initial reaction from the title was the bad nickname for San Francisco. But I'm curious how anybody who read the actual post would still think so -- hiking and trout fishing? Already totally winterlike? Are all the leaves down? All of these should have signaled that it wasn't San Francisco the poster was talking about!

Well Patrick, I did think hiking and trout fishing for a trip to San Francisco seemed strange but since you have been to San Francisco am sure you know anything is possible.
Thought maybe hiking up Mt. Tam, Muir Woods (in Marin County) and trout fishing - what do I know - the SF Bay has a lot of weird stuff in it so thought maybe that were starting to throw in trout too. LOL.

Oh Gee, Shucks and I am sorry 
Here I was trying to be helpful ~
SF was the only Frisco I knew of..there is no actual Colorado board and I figured that one can fish and hike in SF also, at least, I used to hike there.
Sorry, julies

Julie:
The leaves have fallen for the most part and its been pretty cold lately, BUT you can still fish, the hiking is still good (be careful though- took a digger last week over a tree root covered by leaves!) AND most of the restaurants and shops are having off season specials.
Mornings are cold - frost on the ground, snow in the higher peaks but it warms up to fleece/sweater/lt jacket weather in the afternoon. That said - it could snow a foot tomorrow - but most likely, more of the same.
