A while back someone said something about Greens peak on the 4th weekend?

Ward,

Typically La Bajada season is springtime. In the summer, the winds are more variable as to direction (it needs a west wind or nearly so). Also, it's very hot there in the summer and as monsoon thunderclouds build in the afternoons, being the highest point on the top of a tall cliff is not the safest idea.

Dave,

The 4th of July weekend used to be a common sweet spot for a trip to Greens Peak. Enthusiasm has waned considerably in recent years.

I don't recall anyone specifically mentioning this July 4th, however.

Any interest?

I have too much on my plate for a trip.

I have interest but not much time. I’m in MD, getting back tomorrow late. I was thinking Dave Seger mentioned the Phoenix guys going a while back. 

I thought about heading over for a day if others would be there. I probably have too much on my plate as well but was tempted.

Cheers

Hi all, I haven't heard a peep from the Phoenix club so I checked in with them and turns out they aren't going over the 4th. B

Here's a link to the National Weather Service forecast for Greens Peak...

The closest Weather Underground has to offer is Eager, which isn't too close...
