Having experienced SD at 100+, advise MORE water than you think you'll need so as to not be stressed out about where to get more. Figure on a liter/hour if 95+. And don't wait until you're thirsty. Be too late by then. I drank 1/2 liter every half hour, by my watch, and was barely keeping up. Might take a filter if you can't verify taps anywhere on a long, desolate stretch. Might be a stock tank within reach. Or stand on the roadside waving an empty water bottle. Somebody will finally stop.

Actually, it's not likely to be that hot in Wyoming.
