Full sun, very pleasant weather. I was here from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM between elevation 3200’ to 3900’. Beautiful mountainous desert wilderness. Unsure when it last rained here, it seemed very dry away from the creeks, yet there were a few late brood desert flyers out. Jubas were in an open area before the trailhead.
