It seems to be hot everywhere in the SW right now. I am currently just outside Carson City, Nv at 4500 ft and it's 100 right now. So much for temp moderation due to altitude.
You ain't high enough . . .
Kingman, AZ (3500 ft elevation) -- 100 degrees
Hualapai Mountain Park (6500 ft elevation) -- 86 degrees
Kingman & the park are only 13 miles from each other.
Another comparison where I'm near . . .
Bishop, CA (4150 ft elevation) -- 103 degrees
Mammoth Lakes, CA (7880 ft elevation) -- 79 degrees
Bishop & Mammoth are only 42 miles apart.
You should be looking for a place at 6500 feet plus.
