The overall best time to visit Moab is during the Spring (March to May) and fall (September to October). During these peak visitation periods, daytime temps hover comfortably between 60F and 80F, making conditions ideal for hiking, mountain biking and exploring Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and all the wonderful open public lands in between.
Moab’s true low season runs from mid-November through February. During these late-fall and winter months, tourism drops significantly and lodging rates reach their lowest points. Arches and Canyonlands see very light crowds.
Spring (March–May): Perfect for daytime hiking, rock climbing, blooming desert wildflowers, and high-water white-water rafting on the Colorado River. However, expect larger crowds and higher accommodation rates, especially around Easter (due to the Easter Jeep Safari).
Fall (September–October): Offers mild weather, warm days, and cool nights with slightly fewer crowds than spring. Late October to early November also brings vibrant golden foliage along the cottonwood trees by the river.
Summer (June–August): Midday temperatures frequently exceed 90°F to 100°F. If you visit during summer, stick to early morning hikes, afternoon water activities (such as rafting), or evening stargazing.
