In case you've been living in the humid lowlands all of your life, the intensity of the Moab desert sun can be quite a surprise! In summer and on sunny days, always wear a hat and use a good sun-block (apply 30 minutes before going out & reapply throughout the day). Make sure your sunglasses are appropriate for the level of activity you'll be engaging in.

This might seem obvious, but the mid-day sun can be especially intense. The best time of day to explore is early morning to early afternoon. Many bikers and hikers get up with or just before the sun to take advantage of the cool morning temperatures - not bad advice!
