L is for ...


La Sal Mountain Loop!


This mountain range stretches from the Colorado River all  the way to southern Utah in Moab.

In the summer of 1776, Spanish missionary and explorer  Silvestre Velez de Escalante thought that these snow-capped mountains were a strange thing to behold in the summer. He called the Sierra  La Sal  means Salt Mountains in English.

To put things into perspective, here's a satellite's view of the range.



Do you enjoy hiking, picnicking, mountain climbing, fishing, hunting or off-roading?
