Moab, Utah provides a charming vacation destination for visitors to enjoy no matter what time of year you arrive. This vibrant locale is brimming over with flavorful options as well as boutique stores, amazing views and access to some of the most intriguing outdoor adventures imaginable. While Moab proper is sure to inspire, there’s nothing quite like planning a mountain adventure while you’re here. If you’re looking to make the most of a stunning drive complete with stops along the way to explore, La Sal Mountain Loop is your best bet.
A Drive Filled with Excitement and Scenery
Those visitors looking for incredible vistas earned through elevation changes and winding roads will quickly fall in love with the La Sal Mountain Loop experience. The road can be accessed by taking Highway 191 south of Moab until you see signs for both Ken’s Lake and La Sal Mountain Loop road. While many will choose to stop and enjoy some lake time before continuing on, those who are eager for sky-high sights will want to be on their way. As drivers continue their journey on La Sal Loop road, elevation increases and the terrain visibly changes. Keep your eyes peeled for the collection of stunning plateaus that come into view and make sure to admire the mountain forests that begin to appear. Continuing on, those driving the La Sal Mountain Loop will be privy to views that extend to the Moab Valley as well as Canyonlands National Park, both worth of photos and a bit of time to simply admire.
