Moab in October

[Jim]

Trent and family with a second vehicle/friend are looking to visit Moab just before Thanksgiving (Nov 17-21).

See his "Moab in November" thread:

I'm thinking of mid to late Oct for a long weekend with a goal of slightly warmer temps than the November trip. Anyone wish to go in Oct?

I'd be interested: any weekend starting with 10/19-21 until 11/2-4 would work for me.

[Jim]

That can work with me. Let's wait a day or two and see if anyone else is interested / their availability.

[FINOCJ]

bump....anyone else interested? Be great to have another 4x4 or two.

Still a wish list place. Pick a slot that works for you guys and I will see if I can join.

[Jim]

Chris, I'm flexible. I think James is flexible (in his range). Is something better for you?

With my goal of a tad warmer, let's go sooner - weekend of Oct 19 thru 21. I'm flexible for other though.

I’m in a “spur of the moment mode” lately and will be for a while, so it is a bit tough to commit.

What trails do you want to visit? I'm fairly clueless as to Moab trails. I have FunTreks Moab to look through.

I would enjoy (to or fro) taking the Gateway CO <> Moab UT trail/road. Not a have to but an "would be nice".

October time frame I may be able to. Wanted to go out early this month but new job means vacation time is hard to come by. Are you planning on leaving for Moab on the 19th or something else?

I may be able to swing this now that work is slowing down!

If I'm reading correctly, it looks like October 19-21? I can put in for that weekend off, but I won't know until after my October schedule comes out.

FWIW - My original camping reservation in Moab for early Oct was running up on its cancellation deadline, so I re-booked/transferred the reservation to 10/18-21. The campground's cancellation policy is pretty friendly so this buys some additional time to see if the trip will go or not. cheers

Have a great time you guys! Wish I could go. I'm burning the remainder of my vacation days in MN over Thanksgiving to be with family. (I haven't been back there in 6 years - so I gotta...) I've only been to Moab in the spring and summer. Would love to be there in the fall.

[Jim]

I've been perhaps a bit too quiet in the thread. Oct ?18?, 19, 20, 21 is scheduled on my mind.

James - what campground are you staying at? I'm on the fence re camping vs hotel.

[Maverick1872]

If I end up being able to make it I would strongly consider camping myself, but it would definitely be on the chillier side for sure.
