The La Sal Mountain Loop Road is a scenic drive near Moab that takes you from the desert floor up into the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Along the way, you can stop at Ken's Lake, explore Mill Creek Recreation Area, and visit picturesque spots like Oowah Lake and Warner Lake Campground.

To complete the loop, take Highway 128 (aka River Road) out of Moab and head towards Castle Valley. From there, turn right onto La Sal Loop Rd. and start climbing into the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The drive takes you on a 60 mile scenic loop, known as the La Sal Loop Scenic Drive, over to Ken's Lake.

You'll have west-facing views throughout your drive, which makes it the perfect dog-friendly activity if you want to watch the sunset. Unlike many of the backroads around Moab, the La Sal Mountain Loop Scenic Drive is suitable for passenger cars. However, RVs and trailers will not be able to complete the full loop due to tight turns. Make sure to fill your gas tank or charge your vehicle before leaving town and plan to be out for a few hours.
