Weather conditions can quickly change. Always keep a ‘weather eye’ on the sky when you are out in a park. Southeast Utah is part of the Colorado Plateau, a "high desert" region that experiences wide temperature fluctuations, sometimes over 40 degrees in a single day. At @canyonlandsnps, the temperate—and most popular—seasons are spring (April through May) and fall (mid-September through October), when daytime highs average 60º to 80ºF (15º to 26ºC) and lows average 30º to 50ºF (-1º to 10ºC). Summer temperatures often exceed 100ºF (37ºC), making strenuous exercise difficult. Late summer monsoon season brings violent storm cells which often cause flash floods. When planning your next trip, think about the season. Pay attention to seasonal temperatures, precipitation levels, common weather conditions, and severe weather risks. ⁣ ⁣ Image: Storm clouds with a pillar of rain over The Needles district in the southeast corner of Canyonlands, Utah.
