Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Canon City, CO, 7.1 mi away at 5,378 ft. The station sits about 800 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

Tall Green Wall is a climbing area in Colorado on public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Royal Gorge Field Office. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable conditions. Typical averages from the nearby Canon City weather station run to highs around 73°F in May and 80°F in September, and since that station sits about 850 feet lower, temperatures at the wall run cooler. The wall sits among a cluster of crags, with Bud Wall and Roadside each about 0.1 mile away and Vatican about 0.4 mile off. A spot listed as Dispersed Campsite is also about 0.4 mile away, the closest overnight option.
