La Sal Mountain Loop Road
~60 Miles
The incredible La Sal Mountain Loop Road takes you from the red sandstone desert at the banks of the Colorado Plateau and up into the beautiful and towering backdrop mountains known as the La Sals before exiting south of Moab off of 191. You’ll pass Castle Valley and its buttes and you’ll wind up the slopes where you can camp, hike, and fish in alpine lakes. All the while you’ll love the incredible view of Eastern Utah which sprawls out before you including Canyonlands, Arches, and the distant peaks of the Abajos and the Book Cliffs. Just off the Loop Road is the Dolores Triangle Safari Route which winds through and behind the beautiful mountains and has the incredible Bull Canyon Overlook and Dinosaur Tracks Site.
There are fantastic and very isolated campgrounds off the dirt road in the photo below but requires high clearance and 4WD. Please be respectful of this wilderness and don’t leave trash and be careful with your fires.
