Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Victorville, CA, 10 mi away at 2,880 ft. The station sits about 1,000 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

Zena Rocks is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Barstow Field Office in California. It sits among several other named climbing areas, which makes it easy to pair with other routes in the same stretch of rock. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Victorville show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 79°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the rocks, so temperatures up here run cooler. The closest climbing areas are Owl, The, Middle Earth and Hercules' Foot, all about 0.1 mile away. For a hike, Bass Hill Trail and Farly Mine Trail are both about 6 miles off.
