I tend to hike a little later in the morning, til noon or 1, and start up
again a little later in the afternoon. With a good early start, you really don't
have to hike too far in the afternoon or evening.
Finding shade can sometimes be problematic in the desert, but a tarp and the
ability to pitch it high can help.
