Hallo Andreas,
Great adventure.
You might use weatheronline.com to figure out details about the weather/climate. But average is not always helpful. Conditions are widely spread sometimes, is my limited experience in the southwest.
Things to see: Mesa Verde; continue 163 from Bluff to Durango. After Mesa Verde Mancos is a nice tiny village to overnight.
Near Bluff there's also the wonderful Gooseneck (like Saarschleife but American size!)
NB. I only know this area in Utah/Colorado, roughly between Mexican Hat and Durango.
You will miss the Grand Canyon!?

I have a question regarding the general weather conditions and the temperature in Nevada in May. Is this too early to ride Highway 50 or already hot
