Don't bust the crust - hiking, biking, 4WD
Help to keep all of our trails open. Protect the fragile, but crucial, soil by remaining on designated roads, routes and trails at all times. Biological soil crust, also known as cryptobiotic soil, is the foundation of desert plant life. This black, knobby crust is made up of many different living organisms and plays a vital role in maintaining the desert ecosystem. However, this sensitive soil is extremely fragile and can take decades to grow. Even a footstep can damage the crust for decades, having lasting impacts on the desert environment. Please stay on the trials.

Ways to Beat the Heat
La Sal Mountains The Manti-La Sal National Forest is a different ecosystem – aspen trees, conifers and mountain flowers. The exciting road offers turn-outs so you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery. From the main entrance to Rim Village, turn right on Spanish Valley Drive, head south. Spanish Valley Drive becomes the La Sal Mountain Loop in a few miles. The loop is about 25 miles and you come out in Castle Valley. Take Hwy 128, aka the Scenic Byway as it follows the Colorado River to Moab. Boat or raft the Colorado. Outfitters offer mild to wild options.
