La Sal Mountains

The La Sal Mountains are a high mountain range located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. Reaching elevations over 12,000 feet, the range is characterized by rugged alpine peaks, steep canyons, and scattered aspen and pine forests. The La Sals were formed by an igneous intrusion, giving the range a distinct geological character compared to the surrounding desert landscape. The range's remote and exposed nature creates a challenging yet rewarding outdoor environment.
