Well, its just about mid- june again, and i want to have a go at the skyline trail again. I want to start around midnight to beat the summer heat, but does it really beat the summer heat? are the nights still really hot, like in the 90s and 100s?
Its seems like when I travel in the dark or at night, hiking seems to be quicker, for me anyway.
I tried the skyline in late may shortly after sunrise, and i had to turn around at 5000 feet, i was descending in the dead of afternoon and the heat was incredible and almost unbearable (which made my cramps, my tiredness only worse).
the only thing is that i wont be able to enjoy the scenery and biome changes as much now
