Calisdad, we were at 9400 feet -- comfortable days, cool nights. Perfect boondocking weather. That is exactly why we dragged ourselves into the high country at great effort -- to beat the heat. But one always has to take into account the "inconvenience" factor -- boondocking means that a lot of time is spent in finding a spot and setting up camp, typically on an un-level hillside. And then there is a much longer "commute" to the trailheads, as compared with the campgrounds that are usually more centrally located. The extra time and trouble are worth it to us, but there are hidden costs.
