Denver weather in the fall is pleasantly similar to Spring with warm days and cool evenings. Medium weight clothing with a jacket and/or topcoat for evenings should prove a comfortable combination in this Denver weather. A visit to the mountains will generally require warmer clothing. However, daytime temperatures can vary from warm to crisp, so several layers of medium weight clothes (shirts, sweaters, and jackets) will allow adjustment for maximum comfort.
