Time of season is more important than where you are on the trail in my 
experience. On my 5-month hike, I was too hot in my long pants 2 days 
before reaching Echo Lake in early July. This doesn't mean people should 
switch clothing by a particular town, but may indicate a good time of 
season to start considering change.

I would not be surprised that, on our respective hikes, Christopher was 
much further along the trail than I was, making us agree.

Around July may be a good time to start considering warmer weather 
clothing. In September, I switched back to cold weather clothing.
