Generally no one goes wheeling in August there, as it will be EXTREMELY hot, BRUTAL in certain places. If you have a choice, September or October would be a far better bet. Or, check out nearby Silverton Colorado instead.

What a dream, a Moab Honeymoon!

Sorry I won't be going then, but I think the first time I went to Moab was in July and I don't remember it being terribly hot. It may be a matter of perspective. At least it is a dry heat, not the dripping Houston heat! I think I'm going over Labor Day weekend end of August/early September.

Have you ever been to moab in August? There are plenty of people biking, jeeping, and hiking in moab in august. Yes it is quite hot but bring plenty of H2O, and sunblock and you'll be fine.

Congrats! I did the same the first time around. Married at Dead Horse Point, wedding party wheeled up Longs Canyon to the wedding, back down over Gemini Bridges Trail(yes, we drive across the bridges) to the little western show place(name is alluding me right now) for the reception. The County Clerk married us, it was either that or the Mayor.

Great way to go. I hope your marriage lasts longer then mine did.

Why not do Moab AND Ouray/Silverton/Durango??? Tutto Pazzi?!

No. They aren't that far away from each other, and the southwest part of Colorado is awesome at that time of the year. Plus seeing some of the old mining ghost towns and Alpine Trail views,..... Bellissimo!

Truly a part of the USA, and its history, that cannot be found in Europe or anywhere else.

I hope you take a lot of pictures and post them with us. And congratulations on your wedding plans!

mmcan and others, is there a trail guide book for Colorado and these other areas?

Last year four of us came to Moab and used the excellent guide books there to take us to some fantastic places

When we come back next year it would be great to extend the trip to some other areas.

Thanks, Giles
