Best temp for hiking

[CJW]

I seems this is an unusually warm Nov. for the Guads
I thought day time highs in the 50's would be good hiking temps?
Looks like I will have to wait till Dec.

I'd watch the weather, if you don't like it today, wait 'til tomorrow.  Ideal temperature also very much depends on the wind, especially in the Guadalupe's.

I did not think about the wind I have been there only once and had highs in the 60's but had none of the legendary winds I have heard so much about

Mid 50s to the upper 60s is perfect for me!

The Bowl is the Guadalupe's equivalent of the Basin only more lush, higher in elevation, devoid of a water supply, undeveloped and accessible only by hiking up 2,500' from the Pine Springs area.  A unique, challenging, and probably against park regulartions route goes up McKittrick Canyon from Pratt Cabin and stays in the canyon floor when the trail goes up to the McKittrick Ridge campsite.  When South McKittrick Canyon branches off to the west continue due south.  The route is a little over ten miles long from the McKittrick Canyon Visitor Center.

The Bowl is a lot smaller than the Basin and ringed by gentler though higher (all above 8,000') peaks.  The most notable is Hunter Peak, an absolutely marvelous place to watch the sunset.
