Depends on what conditions you like Dave. I personally like it colder rather than warmer. high 30's and low 40's and sunshine and it is perfect. Pther people won;t even think about coming out until the temps hit 75. Early Spring, for me, is the best. The air is still crisp, the sun is out, leaves aren't on the trees yet, no bugs, you can still see snow, and there are few crowds.

I have no idea why people climb here in the middle of summer. It's just disgusting

The weather was excellent last weekend and is great today low bugs not too hot right now either. I'm in Poughkeepsie so if you need a partner I'm willing and able.
