I was planning on Lavender Peak, but a fire broke out and I was in the area before I found out. It was smoking out the area I was to be in. I went up La Plata Canyon and hiked the road to Kennebec Pass, and then on to a 12,000' ridge just north of Cumberland Mountain. There was just a bit of smoke in the air, but that was enough to overpowered the alpine smells. Smart choice not to pursue Lavender and be in the smoke. I still want to do Lavender, but I don't know when. Also made an accidental side trip to a mine.

I think Monsoon season will begin around June 20, plus or minus 5 days, not by the calendar according to the NWS, but when dew points rise dramatically, and it begins to rain over the Sacramento Mountains. It will start about 10 days later in Arizona.
