Weather/Temp in August

I’m backpacking either Colden or Marcy in the second week of August and spending 2-3 nights around Lake Colden or other camp spots on the trail.


What should I be prepping for as far as cold temps go? I’m on quite a budget, so I have this sleeping bag which has been perfect for summer weather but I’m not sure if temps get cold enough that it would be an issue: https://a.co/d/c9iDKi2


I’ll bring some base layer leggings/shirt, willing to layer up for the night if that seems necessary. I’m just not sure with the elevation if I’m looking at 60 degree nights or 40 degree nights.


What’s your absolute ideal clothing setup for the high peaks in August? I’ve got great rain gear so I’m not super worried about the shell.
