So Tuesday night we slept in the
Glen Canyon recreation area because our trip through
Monument Valley meant we wouldn’t make the
Grand Canyon that day. When we turned off the car at around 10 PM (Mountain Standard Time = 1 AM Eastern Daylight Savings Time . . .
Arizona being the only state not to observe daylight savings), the thermometer read 92 degrees. Hard weather to sleep in. Fortunately, there was a good breeze and our tent opens up quite a bit to let the air in.
Then on Wednesday, when we settled in at the forest site, the temperature on the car at 10 PM read 42 degrees (forecasts said the low would be 32). Fortunately, our tent holds its temperature pretty well when it’s all buttoned up. We piled on the clothes and used all of our cold weather gear and we were fine.
Tonight’s low is predicted to be 28. We're working on our sunburns, a trick we picked up last year.
