Benefits of Visiting Moab in Winter
Cooler Temperatures
Summer in Moab can bring scorching heat, but winter offers mild and comfortable temperatures, making it easier to explore the outdoors all day long. Hiking, biking, and even off-roading are much more enjoyable when the sun isn’t beating down.
Fewer Crowds
Winter means fewer visitors, allowing you to enjoy Moab’s breathtaking landscapes without the hustle and bustle of peak season. Imagine having iconic trails and viewpoints almost entirely to yourself—it’s an adventurer’s dream.
Top Things to Do in Moab During Winter
Explore Arches National Park
Winter is the perfect time to visit Arches National Park. With cooler temperatures and fewer people, you can take your time marveling at the park’s famous rock formations, like Delicate Arch and Landscape Arch. Snow often dusts the red rocks, creating a stunning contrast against the blue sky.
Discover Canyonlands National Park
Island in the Sky, a district of Canyonlands National Park, offers panoramic views that are even more breathtaking in winter. Take a short hike to Mesa Arch at sunrise for an unforgettable experience.
Go Off-Roading
Moab is known as the off-roading capital of the world, and winter provides ideal conditions for exploring its famous trails. Popular routes like Hell’s Revenge and Fins & Things are far less crowded, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of off-roading at your own pace.
Mountain Biking
Moab’s legendary mountain biking trails, like Slickrock and Navajo Rocks, are just as thrilling in the winter. The cooler weather means you can tackle these trails without overheating, and the scenery is even more striking with snow-dusted landscapes.
Stargazing
As a designated International Dark Sky Community, Moab is one of the best places in the world to stargaze. Winter’s longer nights and crisp air make for incredible views of the night sky. Bundle up and enjoy a celestial show like no other.
