What January feels like
January is the emptiest Moab gets — some outfitters shut entirely and the town is genuinely quiet. The potholes on the slickrock ice over most nights, which is why locals will tell you an alpine-start hike is a bad idea until the sun has been up a while.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
