Oh yeah. Went out there deer hunting in 1974. We had such a good time, we went back the following summer. I think it was July. Remember standing at the marker at the Continental Divide and it was sleeting. Beautiful country any time of the year. I would love to go back.

I was in Grand Junction Colorado 1st of September 1985 and 87, nothing like it at 8,000 feet above sea level that time of the year, if your hot stand in the shade, cool stand in the sun, 30 degree nights, just perfect, no snakes, mosquitoes, chiggers or ticks, life in the outdoors got no better

Grew up in MT. Days will be pleasant, more than likely chilly at night. If you are up above 5000, the nights will be cold. Had frost in August in the Bighorn Mtns just north of Yellowstone. If you are travelling I15 through Utah, find roads that parallel it south of Salt Lake City, beautiful country.
