It is getting hot here in Moab. It hit 100 F today and most hikes here are at elevations of 4000-5000 ft.
So about 30 miles away are the La Sal mountains which peak just under 13000 ft. Can you say much cooler. The hike from Gold Basin to a meadow went up to about 10700 ft which was quite refreshing. The scenery is quite different as you can see. I will probably do more hiking in this area during the summer.
