How HOT is Mexican Mountain Utah?

I was thinking of going to Mexican Mountain Utah for a camping trip this summer. My question is can anyone tell me about the heat there during summer. Is it to hot? If so what is the best time to camp there.

Thanks

Rick

Re: How HOT is Mexican Mountain Utah?

We floated the San Rafael river past the bridge (within 5 miles of MM) last June 6th and it was 100+ degrees F. If you could deal with the heat, dipping in the river, then the bugs would drive you insane in the Swell. They start about mid- may and go through the hot season.

The Fall is epic down there, Mid-September and beyond.

I have been there many times. It is too, too hot in the summer. There is very little shade. Most of that area is hot in the summer. There may be occasional not so hot periods.
