Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Alpine, CA, 10.6 mi away at 1,695 ft. The station sits about 600 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. This station doesn't record snowfall. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

Hollenbeck is a climbing area in Hollenbeck Canyon Wildlife Area, a California state wildlife area managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits within the broader network of trails and climbing spots in the area, so it pairs well with other outings in the same part of the state. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Alpine put May highs around 74°F and October highs around 78°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the canyon, so temperatures at the climbing area run a little cooler. The closest neighbors are the Daley Ranch Truck Trail, about 2.6 miles away, and the Honey Springs Trailhead and Mother Grundy Truck Trail, both within about 3 miles. Gaskill Peak, roughly 5 miles off, is another option for a longer outing.
