From the iconic Arches and Canyonland National Parks to rafting trips and a dinosaur park, you definitely won’t get bored in Moab
. If you’re aiming to miss the crowds and avoid the sweltering summer heat, the best time to visit Moab is during the fall and winter months. However, every season in Moab has something unique to offer. Winter: From December to February, the weather in Moab hovers between 40ºF and 50ºF, and the famous red rocks are capped with snow. You’ll see fewer people on the hiking trails during this time too—even on the typically crowded trails in Arches National Park. Skiing is also an option.
Spring: Visitors start showing up en masse from March through May, looking to warm up after the frosty winter. Hiking trails are sprinkled with colorful flora and the weather rarely gets above 70ºF. It’s perfect—but busy.
Summer: June through August are ideal for white water rafting in the Colorado River or escaping to the La Sal Mountains. The national parks are packed during this time too, but temperatures can reach 100ºF or higher.
Fall: Temperatures stay around 70ºF from September through November, so you can hit up almost all of the outdoor activities comfortably. The trees in the Manti-La Sal National Forest start to change colors, and you can enjoy events like the Moab Folk Festival in November.
