The High Desert has a trend at the moment, and it seems to be sticking around. There is nothing quite like the feeling when that 99° on the dashboard transforms into a three-digit experience that only means, any outdoor activity will need to be postponed until the temperatures lower, at approximately 10:30PM. Until then, take advantage of these destinations that just might provide sweet relief.
