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.

I just left Southern Utah and Nevada where temperatures are already pushing over 90 degrees, so it is only getting hotter till Fall approaches. We moved up in elevation and latitude to get into the comfortable 70's today.

We waited till we retired and did a spring trip to all the US deserts to seethe cactus blooms . Took part of rt 66 w and ended on coast of California. Liked the saguaro cactus the best. Travel safe
