Description
Creating a beautiful backdrop for the city of Moab, the snow capped La Sal Range covers a large section of eastern Utah where it borders with Colorado. Moab, said to be the gateway to Grand County recreation, is home to Arches National Park, the Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point State Park and the dramatic La Sal Mountains. Rising high above the red-rock canyon country of southeastern Utah, the La Sals add an unequalled dimension to Moab's scenery, showing up in countless Arches and Canyonlands national park photographs.
While numerous trails provide good hiking and biking outings in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, its beauty can also be enjoyed by taking the La Sal Mountain Scenic Backway. Cruising through the La Sal Division forest, the byway cuts through a small section of the million and a half acre Manti-La Sal National Forest. Offering views of a varied landscape, the route climbs passed deep canyons, mountain meadows and lakes, topping out among the majestic mountaintops.
