It’s springtime here in the Colorado Rockies, and that means it’s time to break out our family’s pop-up camper! Traditionally, we make spring trips to Moab, Utah, where the desert temperatures just get too hot in the heart of summer. April, May and September are fabulous times to visit.
Last weekend we camped with friends at the Sand Flats Recreation Area, very close to the world-famous Slickrock mountain-biking trail. Our campsite in the “D” section was right near a main road, and we heard plenty of 4-wheelers first thing in the morning. But the campsites we secured (thanks to friends who scouted them out Thursday night, before the weekend crowds descended) were spacious, with lots of space for the kids to play in the sand.
We were also close to a deserted hiking trail that led up to some awesome sandstone formations. The kids (ages five to eight) were troupers as we bushwacked off the trail on our hour-long excursion (all the better for Mama to work off two nights’ worth of s’mores). Here are a couple more photos from our Moab weekend:
Hi,
Was wondering what Moab is like in mid October. Is it too cold to camp?
Nighttime temps might dip to 40, so if you plan to go bring toasty sleeping bag. Daytime temps will likely be in mid 70s.
