RE: Suggestion for trip to desert southwest
I’m sorry Sir about the timing, not only heat but it’s monsoon season in the southwest, meaning humidity and the very real chance of flash floods. Please consider staying out of any slot canyons. 11 people died in Upper Antelope years ago, only the guide survived hanging onto the rope ladder yet having all his clothes ripped off by the water.
After that I would suggest Lee’s Ferry for a campsite from a postcard…yet the heat.
Good luck!
Thanks and appreciate the heads up. After reviewing the feedback I'm considering pushing my departure back a few weeks to mid September. After the drive and a week or so fishing in Colorado that would give me the month of October to explore the deserts.
Thumbs Up!

Check the temps before you go. Danged hot.
Double down on the heat caution. Might as well stay in Grand Mesa a bit longer. Fall in the Southwest deserts comes at least a month later than in PA. Until then, toooooo hot. Fall leaf colors are in mid to late October.
