... until stopping for lunch at Arches National Park where it felt we were sitting in a fan forced oven on full heat.

Okay, I'm not that ignorant of the weather in the Southwest, I just didn't expect this to be one of our obstacles when we were trying to get away from rainy, chilly Seattle. It had already rained enough on us all the way through CA, so we really didn't want this.
