go southwest, maybe I'll join you

... How is the weather (and more importantly-the trail conditions) there at that time of the year? The other option is SW Utah or around Vegas...
You stand a much better chance of good weather and trail conditions down in St George country in December. Fruita/GJ is pretty high elevation compared to other desert destinations. Moab is a little lower, farther south. St. George yet a bit lower and farther south. Vegas a bit lower, a bit farther south...
Man, I need to get to the desert soon. Warmth dammit. Salida is colder than a well digger's lower unit this
autumn. Fruita is always going to be warmer than we are, but it's still pretty high there, elevation-wise. I say this as the endless wind brings more 20° air down from the high country here, supposed to be down below zero overnight tonight, sun setting at 4:12pm...
and
winter still weeks away!
