We are in the middle of a heat wave. I think it was in the 90s F when we hiked it at 3 pm. Lots of sunscreen needed. Luckily there is a stream that comes down so if you bring a filter, you will have safe water for sure. Thankfully around here there is pretty much always water to be found in the mountains!
