The Flaming Mountains! Looks a lot like Southern Utah doesn't it. These mountains aren't to far from where I live and are a big tourist attraction out here. 
No it isn't raining. Why the umbrella you might ask? Because when it is this hot you have to carry your own shade. This is a picture of the fire raining down on me in a wall mural that is at the visitor center here. 
This giant thermometer shows you how hot it is. When I was there in July it was 64 degrees Celsius. That is almost 150 degrees Fahrenheit! It was HOT!
In a desert area as hot as that the ground is completely dry and cracked. No sand in this desert.
Guess if you spend too much time in the heat you start to look like your camel!
The people out here are a minority group where the men wear hats and their skin is tanned from their time in the sun.
Camels are just waiting for you the tourist to take a ride.

During the hottest parts of the day after lunch the smart ones try to catch a nap in the shade of their donkey carts. Poor donkey- no shade for him.

Kneeling down to let someone go for a ride. Be careful- they are taller than you think.
The camels don't seem to mind the heat.

I only braved the heat for about 30 min! But it was worth the trip to see the beautiful red rock.
