Thanks for the reply guys.
I'm actually quite fond of dry, 100+ heat. If it's dry, it's never too hot for me. It's the humidity I can't stand.
But I'd like some water access where I can set up a base camp and head on out to the hills for hiking and photography.
I've been to the Canyonlands area twice, but the last time was 30 years ago. I remember it being unbelievably beautiful, but also there were lots of shade between the crevasses.
I'm essentially looking for two things:
1) How to get there from Vancouver via the scenic route off the beaten path, preferably via Nevada.
2) Once at Canyonlands, where I can park my camper for a week near some water with scenic hiking trails in the vicinity.
Thanks again,
Raz
