Weather by month
Moab
Utah
Red-rock desert with two glorious shoulder seasons bookending a summer that genuinely bakes and a winter that quietly freezes.
The best time to come
April, May, and October are the season here — warm enough for long days on the rock, cool enough to want them. March is quieter and nearly as good; skip midsummer unless you are content to be finished hiking by breakfast.
