    Rained like hell yesterday for about two hours, then cleared but it the monsoon time of year. One thing to make clear yesterdays high of 61 felt more like mid 70's at this altitude and now humidity till it rains its awesome. Then the sun comes out and dries it all up. You also don't have to worry about large hail here we don't get it.

    Ah yes the monsoon season. I tend to think of it as Arizona pissing on Colorado - it does it feel good most of the time, however August 4 - 7 would be a good time for a break.
    There is always the chance however so pack accordingly.
