How hot is too hot???

.....the heat and humidity is not something I enjoy. The views are not as good in the summer, to many bugs, snakes, posion ivy, and people. Being a section hiker allows you to pick the best weather and time of year. ...!!!

My sentiments exactly. I think I've used the same words in describing my section hiking.

Summer is a great time to hike......in the Rockies, Cascades, High Sierra, Ireland, Norway, the Alps.....

Try "teaching" a class of middle school kids in 99 degree heat, full humidity with no AC. Not fun!

And inner-city to boot, no?

About the worst hiking conditions I can imagine is 90 degree or above heat or minus 0 and a 30 mile per hour wind. I would still take the cold over the heat any day!!!!! My choice is 20-30 at night and 50-55 during the day. Perfect!! Also can carry the kind of food I like to eat into the backcountry without the worry of spoilage!!!
