Indeed you can go south, but it'll add 600 miles to the journey. And, there are as many mountains that way as there are if you go east out of Salt Lake. The weather here is still good for another month or so. Storms come and go, but by and large they blow right on by. And, you could pick up some great tail winds through Wyoming. Turn south at Laramie, and get down into the warmer climes. You can angle down and across Colorado, and into Kansas.
