In May, Moab transforms into an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. With temperatures ranging from a comfortable low of 50°F to a warm high of 80°F, layers become your best friends for navigating these shifts. This month, sunshine dominates, casting a golden hue over red rock landscapes, making every hike, bike ride, or river trip picture-perfect. Yet, don't let the sun fool you; rainfall is sparse but when it comes, it's often a brief, refreshing sprinkle, enough to cool you down and settle the dust.

I've found that early mornings in Moab are crisp, ideal for hitting the trails before the heat sets in. By midday, you'll want to be near water or exploring the shaded canyons. Evenings? They're for campfires and stargazing, as the desert cools and the sky comes alive with stars.

For adventurers and peace-seekers alike, May in Moab offers a balance of warm days and cool nights, minimal rain, and abundant sunshine. Whether you're scaling rock formations or floating down the Colorado River, this time of year is about embracing the outdoors at its best. Just remember, hydration and sunscreen are your allies in this desert climate.
