Winter is easily my favorite. California heat makes me want to die
I live in the desert and love hiking, every season that I have clothes for is a perfect season, and I have clothes for every season, ergo every season is perfect.
Winter: brisk exhilerating winds chill your exposed skin, keeping you cool despite your insulating layers keeping your core warm and toasty.
Spring: It's somewhat muddy, bring good boots as the ground is less stable from snowmelt and monsoon. The birds and bugs are alive and singing, the cacti and sagebrush are green and vibrant. Also, it fuckin wimdy my dudes.
Summer: Bugs the size of hawks, wear repellant. The tunas are sprouting, don't pick them yet, they aren't good to eat. The sun is a deadly laser, wear white loose fitting garb, or moisture wicking high UPF fabric. Anything in between will leave you roasting to death.
Autumn: It's getting darker earlier, perfect for twilight hiking but bring protection, food sources dwindling means gutsy cougers. Dress with care, it will be uncomfortably hot while the sun is up but approaching twilight the temperature will rapidly fall, these temps won't kill you, but they're certainly uncomfortable.
Thanks so much for all of your opinions and responses.
I love winter! The parks are mostly empty and there's a lot less litter and obnoxious stuff going on. The kind of fishing i do lasts from November to April and I spend a lot of my time outside. Our house has a furnace but not central AC so it's more comfortable.
Yes. Fall is best but winter is definitely preferable to summer or spring for me.
I like sweaters and fluffy coats and scarves and gloves. I also hate allergies and sweating. Being sickly pale, I don't want to wear anything in public that shows legs or upper arms (see I care!!) so it's extra awful.
