Default Utah Weather late September

I am going to the Motocross Des NAtions race on September 25 and I was thinking about going riding over into southern Utah into the canyon lands country. Will the weatehr there be ok for motorcycle riding? I don't want to be like riding in snow.

I've been there the same time of year and although it can get cold, I didn't see any snow.

Your best bet would probably be to keep an eye on Weather Underground. You can get an idea of the historical weather for that area too.

Late sept. in Utah can be the best of riding or it can be bad. Snowstorms have been knowed to hit the higher elevations at that time of year, but the snow usualy melts off the roads pretty quick. Allow yourself plenty of time to wait out the storms or dodge them. Also bring cold weather gear & rain gear for riding over the mountain passes.

I agree, don't worry about snow, it's the sudden temperature drops and the rain. With that being said, you'll be fine with the right gear. September is my favorite month to ride.

One of my favorite times to ride, but there's always a chance for cold or bad weather.
