Hi, the CDF & SJSP rangers just had to pull some folks off Skyline today Sat, gezz, I wonder why.
The Coachella Valley, and other parts of the country are experiencing record highs! 120 Fri!
Even if you make it on a day like this, it's a bad idea.
Don't put the rangers & resucers in these situations.
They are not waiting around to rescue someone, they are helping others to have a safe wilderness experience.
And, it's real possible these people will have a fat bill to pay for their lack of good judgement.
If the low is 88, which it was Sat early, and all the dark rocks on the trail are hotter, how hot, and probably humid, does one think it will be at 7 or 8 am, even if they begin at 3.
I've lived in PS for 20 yrs, done Skyline over 100 times, it's too Hot!!!
Sure a few are doing it, good for them. I just returned from San Jac peak, and it is sooo much more enjoyable right now.
Need a bigger challenge, add a couple more peaks in with.
Be smart, be safe, enjoy the peace of the wilderness.
