What You'll Need for a Winter Trip to Moab

What to bring on a winter trip to Moab

A winter trip to Moab is a completely different experience than a warm weather trip to Moab. First, off, Moab, gets cold, like any desert. The frigid temperatures during the winter are around 20 degrees F. as an average low. Snow blankets the Moab area from December to February, which is a beautiful photography opportunity. You'll need the right equipment and the right gear to have an enjoyable hike and tour of the national parks near Moab. A waterproof winter coat, warm gloves, thermal clothing, and a good pair of hiking boots are all must-haves. Also, be sure to stay hydrated! It's easy to forget in the cold winter when you are thirsty.
