I experienced a lot of this when we lived in CA. Dry, cracked lips were always a problem but I loved the fact my nose was dry. I spent a lot of money on moisturizers. I did a tour of Masada in Israel and bought a gallon jug of water to take with me. I drank it all while I was there!

The low humidity can be tough to get used to, especially for people from humid places like the tropics or even Georgia. It takes a while to adjust. I'm glad you were smart enough to take that whole gallon of water. I definitely learned to prepare differently when hiking in the desert versus in the woods.

Thanks for sharing!
