Hi there, we are from the UK and planning to travel across the States starting in Sept this year. We are planning to travel across Colorado from Grand Junction through on Highway 50 during October and wondered whether it is sensible to camp at that time of year up there? We've heard it can be very bad snows in the winter but cannot seem to find out whether this is a risk in early October - would we get across ok, and would anyone recommend camping or hoteling across Colorado at this time?

Any help and advice would be really appreciated - we'll be driving a 4x4 so light snow should be ok, but we have no experience of major snows.

Thanks.
