Elevation, Climate, Weather


Kane county has mountains to the northwest, and high, and low deserts throughout. The highest point is 10,100 feet (http://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/search.php?sort=&c=13) which is part of Gooseberry Ridge in the Northern part of Kane county. The lowest elevation 3,071 feet  (http://skyhighutah.com) can be found at Bullfrog Bay along the shores of Lake Powell.

Just like it's landscape, the climate and weather in Kane county can vary greatly. There is snow in winter and it can get hot during the summer, but even in late spring the desert sands here can get VERY cold at night due to the dry air, lack of vegetation, and clear skies.
