Reply To: Fall Hiking (September-October)

[Webdweeb]

Thanks for the reply.  I like that time of year here in the flatlands of the South Bay, but I am not familiar with how the fall progresses in the mountains.  I found a site called Meteoblue.com that had 2016 historical data for the SGW, and there was no appreciable precipitation until 20 November, so if this year’s weather follows a similar pattern, October seems pretty safe, with early November almost as good.  I like the idea of the cooler temps without snow, which would make for great hiking conditions, so the next issue I need to look at is water availability.
