Escaping summer heat while in the southwest?
We leave soon and without plans will be wandering Texas, NM, Arizona, Southern Utah and Colorado. Not our choice time of year, but its the window we're given. We have other reasons to be as far so...

Trying to Salvage this Trip!
I feel like I really let my family down with this trip... We finally arrived at Big Bend and the temperature was 110 as we climbed the mountain into Chisos Basin to sleep with no A/C. We left that next morning, realizing that it just isn't safe.
We headed north towards Carlsbad, but see no relief when looking at the weather map.
To top it off, we purchased my wife an airline ticket home from Phoenix, figuring we would end the trip their. This airline ticket pretty much eliminates the option of heading up to Colorado/Wyoming where the temperatures are reasonable.
I know...what did I expect? I expected hot, but look at the national temperature map, it's hotter than usual, even at elevation.
