Moab Utah is where we are riding. I guess the potential for bad weather could happen. But I am still thinking it wouldn't hurt to bring the rubber gloves just to have in case. I am bringing one pair long finger fleece and two pairs short fingered. So Is is not like I can't change into dryer golves if i have too. And the huts have pot bellied stoves to dry our stuff out if we need too. And it is pretty dry up there too so things will dry fast.
