Maybe this will cool you down some. Pics are taken by the guy that plows the road. This is Imogene pass outside Ouray CO. Pics were taken in June. (While we were sweating away here, he's still wearing long underwear to work.)

These were taken at close to 14,000 feet above sea level. That's why there are no trees. These are the view from the top. The first pic is Dave, the guy that does the plowing. Uses a D5 cat. Those are clouds in the background. That's how far up it is.

Thanks for the COOL pics :) Wish I was there! It was 104 on my truck at The Flats at the benefit ride today :( When I was in Silverton in late April it was 18 that night and you could still make snowballs on most of the passes :)
