If you
wander out into the high desert this time of the year, you better bring along a good sleeping bag. The temperature can swing
50 degrees from day to night. The Colorado Plateau is centered around the four corners area. It ranges in elevations from
4,000 feet to over 12,000 feet. The high deserts around Moab are just a small part of it, but a very popular part. As a result
of the uranium boom in the 1950's there are roads chiseled out along cliffs and across the mesas on BLM lands that would
not exist otherwise. If you go exploring you will need a rugged vehicle, but
be prepared to walk back to civilization in case something breaks. Always carry lots of water.
