La Sal Loop - Moab Front Recreation Area

The La Sal Loop - Moab Front Recreation Area offers a breathtaking high-altitude escape from the desert heat. Situated along the iconic La Sal Mountain Loop Road, this area provides a dramatic transition from the red rock canyons of Moab to lush mountain forests.
