Member Contributer lazyeye Posted July 2, 2019 Member Contributer Posted July 2, 2019 What time of year is the "right" time to ride through Monument Valley? I'm talking about weather mostly but also tourists and whatnot. Quote
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 2, 2019 Member Contributer Posted July 2, 2019 My $.02 is that we're already past the optimum time for this year. In to July and August the thunderstorms can really come up in the afternoon with sometimes drenching rains that may only last for 1/2 hour, but leave you soaked (don't ask me how I know). If I were to do it again I'd go in late May. Summertime heat lifts hot air up high in the atmosphere and can bring on clouds and rain. I went through there in August and got lucky just missing some intense rain - didn't find traffic to be any issue. Could be after Labor Day in to October is good also, but haven't studied that time slot as closely. Quote
Tiutis Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Fall is the best for sure: September if you like it really warm or October if you want a tad cooler weather. Spring is a second option, but can get stormy, windy with snow in the surrounding areas and mountains. Quote
