Please make sure you follow the advice. If by chance you need emergency assistance and F&G feels you have not prepared for the hike, you may be facing a huge bill for rescue efforts!

Even in the middle of the summer, it can get below freezing with damaging wind chill factors.

I don't plan a day to hike. I watch when the weather will be clear at the top and go. The top is almost always in the clouds.
Right on about the temperature change. The day we went up on bikes, it was in the 90's at the base, it was 32 at the top.
