OverviewThe weather in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado has a well deserved reputation as being among the worst. Violent monsoon storms of summer can cause mudslides that block roads and reshape whole mountain sides. A heavy winter can cause a never ending series of avalanches and make most of the San Juan inaccessible. Weather plays an obvious part in the destruction of one's climbing vacation, so the game is ever continuing: How does the climber beat the San Juan weather?
This album has been compiled from the photography of fellow SP members as well as my own submissions to illustrate the type of weather conditions folks will encounter in the San Juans. This album also compliments the weather section on the San Juan Range page.
