MOAB or RUBICON

The other difference is that the Rubicon is a trail. Moab is a collection of a huge number of trails. I just got back from four days of trails in Moab (my 6th trip).
You can chose to run one or two trails in a day, at least on some of the trails. Others, like Golden Spike or Behind the Rocks are a full day. Some obstacles are technically challenging, others are just gut checks.
As you can tell, I love the place, but I wouldn't consider going to Moab in July. In mid-May, the days were in the 90s. In July it will be well over 100 and you really have to work to find any shade.

In July at Moab, sunscreen and gatorade are considered a marinade and glaze. Average temp in the 110s.

Love that TOYOTA
IMHO, Moab.
I was going to run Moab this year, but I don't have the time or money due to the wifes vacation schedule. So we are going to run the 'con instead.
