Anyone have a favorite holiday highpointing memory or recommendation of when to go?

I climbed Mt. Elbert (CO) on July 4, 2016. The crowd at the top was way more prepped for the celebration than we were- and something about that specific Colorado view really made the day connect with me.

Knocked out my 30th highpoint one week before turning 30! A beautiful - if hot - day for it. The state line running down the center of the observation tower was a fun quirk. Easy to find survey marker.

I loved the surrounding terrain. The hills seemed so much narrower and rounded than the Appalachian views I’m used to in TN and NC
