What you'll see and do
Ken's Lake
This is a popular campsite with a lake set against a stunning backdrop of the La Sal Mountains. From the lake, you can hike a short distance to a small waterfall.
20 minutes here
The Brumley Arch trail is only two miles round trip, but it's pretty steep and strenuous. You’ll also need to drive on an optional gravel road to get to the trail. At the end, you will be rewarded with a waterfall and the Brumley Arch rock formation.
20 minutes here
Oowah Lake
Oowah Lake is a small lake popular for rainbow trout fishing. Sitting at 8,800 feet or over 2,600 meters, this Alpine lake often shows the reflection of the La Sal Mountains, which makes it truly picturesque.
20 minutes here
Warner Lake is slightly smaller than Oowah and is also great for rainbow trout fishing. Both lake areas are pretty serene on most days, but during holidays or summer weekends you can expect to find a small crowd. And although there are many trails in the area such as Boudreaux pass and Schuman Gulch, the most popular trail is the 1.6-mile round-trip hike that connects the two lakes together.
20 minutes here
Castle Valley
This is a must stop on the drive as you'll enjoy a sweeping panoramic view of the Colorado Plateau below LaSalle. You'll also be able to see the Porcupine Rim, Castle Valley, Arches National Park, and Canyonlands National Park.
20 minutes here
Bull Canyon Overlook and Dinosaur Track Site
This place is famous for dinosaur tracks left in the ground around 200 million years ago during the Jurassic period. No hiking is needed but you'll need about 30 to 40 minutes for the detour.
20 minutes here
This is a series of sandstone towers with names like Castleton Tower, the Rectory, and Sister Superior, that rise as high as 1,400 feet.
20 minutes here
The summit of Parriott Mesa stands over 6,000 feet or 1800 meters in elevation. It looms over the Castle Valley like a guard. Stretching more than 1.5 miles long and a third of a mile wide, this sandstone summit is another magnet for climbers. There is a three-mile, round-trip hike there, but it's pretty challenging and you need to be very well-prepared
20 minutes here
Fisher Towers
Fisher towers has a popular hiking trail that features beautiful sandstone formations like towers, spires, hoodoos, ravines, and terraces. But there's more to Fisher Towers than just scenery. In fact, there's a pretty good chance you've already seen Fisher Towers before as the backdrop to many hollywood movies, like Austin Powers 3 and 6 Underground.
20 minutes here
The museum is part of the Red Cliffs Lodge. Many films like Wagon Master, Rio Grande, Taza Son of Cochise, City Slickers, Thelma & Louise, and more than a hundred different television commercials were shot in the area. The museum has a great selection of memorabilia, including early pioneer artifacts and photos of Hollywood stars who worked on the motion pictures. And there's no charge to go in, either.
20 minutes here
This is where the Salt Wash River joins the Colorado River. If you have a kayak, you can follow the salt wash upstream and eventually pop out near Delicate Arch inside Arches National Park.
20 minutes here
This is where most of the kayaking and rafting trips end along the 13-mile Moab daily section of the Colorado River.
20 minutes here
The courthouse wash pictograph was created by the Fremont people some 2,000 years ago. It does require a short hike of about 500 feet from the parking area.

Check before you go.
We were unable to complete. The la sal mountain loop road was closed. We were excited to start but unable.
Response from the operator: I'm so sorry to hear that the La Sal Mountain Loop Road was closed during your trip! That must have been disappointing, especially after looking forward to the tour. While closures are sometimes unavoidable, we truly appreciate you sharing this feedback. Please reach out to aloha@shakaguide.com with your tour purchase receipt, we will be more than happy to assist you with a refund. Thanks again for your understanding, and we hope you’ll have the chance to complete the tour soon!

Not worth it!
Didn’t work for us. Got us off in wrong direction. Voice went in and out. Ended up finding our own way and simply driving through the park.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback. We’d like to know the details of the problem you mentioned so we can pass it along to our development team and see if there is any way we can improve it. Please send the details to aloha@shakaguide.com and include a copy of your receipt so we can help you get a refund on your purchase.

Picture Perfect
We began the science byway from its southerly intersection with 191, looping north and regaining 191 at the lighted intersection where the Colorado flows underneath. Paved with only a few potholes, an easy and picturesque drive. Several intriguing turnouts but they were closed this time of year as there was still snow in the culverts and once on a north facing slope of the byway.

Excellent!
Outstanding audio tour - cleverly structured, thoughtfully researched and very well presented. What a great bargain. I will use them for other areas.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to have you as a satisfied user of our app, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.
How much does La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moab usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moab is not rushed.
Is La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moab, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moab can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moab and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Sal Mountain Loop Self-Guided Audio Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moab within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moab?
+
Moab is the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands: sunrise arch tours, 4x4 runs on Hell's Revenge, Colorado River rafting, canyoneering and dark-sky stargazing. Park entry timing systems change often, so we weight tours that handle reservations for you. On Outty we rank every Moab experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HIGHLY RATED U-DRIVE Moab Hell’s Revenge UTV Off-Road Adventure, BEST! Hell's Revenge U-Drive 4X4 Tour in Moab +Dinosaur Tracks!, 5-STAR Moab Hell's Revenge UTV U-DRIVE TOUR + DINO TRACKS. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moab?
+
April to May and September to October, avoiding peak summer heat. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moab?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
