As summer comes to a close, it’s time to welcome the cooler temperatures and vibrant colors of fall. To help you fully enjoy the beauty of the season consider exploring the La Sal Mountain Loop Road which showcases the stunning transformation of Utah’s landscape.
Whispering Oaks Ranch is nestled high in the La Sal Mountains just southeast of Moab and directly on the La Sal Mountain Loop Road.
The La Sal Mountains are known for their breathtaking beauty, providing a striking contrast to the surrounding desert. Spanning about 40 miles, this mountain range boasts a lush alpine environment that feels worlds away from the arid terrain nearby.
The Fall season offers cooler temperature and beautiful change of colors. The scenic drive of the La Sal Mountain Loop Road is spectacular any day and provides iconic landscape views, including Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, but the fall color changes are extra dramatic. You may even see snow capped mountains along the way
If a scenic drive isn’t enough for your adventurous group, there are plenty of outdoor activities to try, including hiking, mountain biking, and ATV’ing. Among the peaks, Mount Peale reigns as the highest, towering over 12,000 feet.
