(I'm going to
be starting in Ashland on July 1st and hiking south for July and August.)
~~
We're planning to hike north from Castle Crags starting in July.??
~~
A July 1st start date for both these parties should be good. You will see
snow, but it will be short stretches above 6000ft and lower on north faces.
In most years, June 15 would be good for these sections. We're into a big
meltoff now due to warm rains and eventual sunshine. Don't expect the
blowdowns to be removed by then, and it could be a record mosquito year.
