Last time we went there this time of year, we got covered in ticks. Make sure to spray your clothes with repellent if you're in the sagebrush.
PS, if in Debeque at this time of year, I would recommend Battlement Mesa over Book Cliffs (regardless of activity-hiking, OHV, etc) but either is nice.
Actually... it's not the ticks that are bad, it's the gnats. They're crazy right now. I live in Grand Junction, believe me, I know. Just don't stop moving. If you stop, you'll get covered. They drive me crazy, bitting my ears and eyes. If you go higher, like Battlement Mesa or Grand Mesa, the problem is mosquitos.
I'll probably be out by DeBeque too, but I'll be in the caves! It's much cooler.
