    Default Southern Utah in early November - any feedback on weather for riding?

    Headed to southern Utah from Texas in early November with Spyder. Anyone have any feedback on weather for riding that time of the year?

    Thanks

    The weather will be variable, depending upon altitude primarily. We just got back. Temps ranged from 40s to 80s. Mostly dry.

    It CAN be everything from warm sun to snow. October is usually pretty good but November can be fickle. Good luck..... Jim

    The Monsoon season is over but winter is coming on and the nights and early mornings can be very cold. Rain is not very common, but you can run into light fluffy snow especially as you get higher, though November can also be very dry. The snow on the red rock desert with the green junipers and cedars is also just gorgeous and worth the risk. Dress warmly, in layers and use electric clothing if you have it.Bring rain gear or have waterproof jackets.
    I ride all year. In winter I always ride south and it's always cold, seldom wet for very long, but it is still Utah and changeable. Enjoy your trip, see the wonderful sights in a different time from the usual tourist.

    Thanks for the feedback. Now my decision comes to taking the Spyder or the SxS?

    Per AccuWeather: Today, snow in the higher elevations with the possibility of some hitting the lower elevations. I would say, watch out for the mountain passes.

    As others have said, the Rockies can have some nasty weather any time in the fall. But MOST of the time, Southern Utah in October/November is 50s and 60s for highs.

    October and November is my favorite time to go to Moab. Even September can be darn hot in Southern Utah.
