The La Sal Mountains, located just east of Moab, Utah, offer an abundance of color in early October. The fall foliage comprises Cottonwood, Scrub Oak, and Aspen. Views of the Moab Valley and the distant Henry Mountains can be seen to the west.
The La Sal Mountain Loop Road is an enjoyable and scenic drive accessed by a short drive south from Moab, ending in Castle Valley and the scenic Highway 128, which meanders along the Colorado River.
