Moab (Arches & Canyonlands) from Seattle, Oct 30–Nov 1: $1,034 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- United fare $417 per person, $504 below the typical fare
- Red Stone Inn, a Dazzler Select by Wyndham: 8.5 from 1,530 reviews
- Typical highs of 56–62°F for the Delicate Arch sunset hike
The catch: It's one stop on United, 6h 40m on the 5:05 AM flight into Grand Junction, and a checked bag runs about $160 for two.
Worth it if you want desert hikes and big views on a short weekend; skip it if an early one-stop flight sounds rough.
Worth it if one stop doesn't bother you: $1,034 for two, all in. That covers United flights at $834, 2 nights at Red Stone Inn, a Dazzler Select by Wyndham at $175 and its $25 property fee, with taxes and fees included. You leave Friday, Oct 30 and come back Sunday, Nov 1, 2026, with one stop on the way to Grand Junction rather than a nonstop, and a checked bag and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
The fare is $417 per person, $504 below the typical fare on this route. Our earlier checks put that typical fare at $921 per person, so this one is 55% lower, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. For two, that's $834 in flights and $1,034 for the whole trip with 2 nights at Red Stone Inn, a Dazzler Select by Wyndham. Late October still counts as peak season in Moab, and Arches requires timed-entry tickets in busy months, so check before you go. Typical highs run 56–62°F with lows near 35°F. That's good hiking weather if you pack layers for cold mornings. On the normals, Friday is clear and the weekend is overcast. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change. It's a short, active weekend for Arches and Canyonlands.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature and adventure trip, and it moves fast. The weekend centers on the red-rock desert around Arches and Canyonlands national parks: trail hikes, canyon overlooks, a 4x4 ride or a slickrock bike loop, then dinner and a brewery in town. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like early starts and full days outside more than spa time or nightlife.
