The trailhead is at La Sal Pass. This can be reached from the north, but requires a high clearance 4wd vehicle, from the south most any vehicle should be able to reach the trailhead.

From Moab:

• Drive south on highway 191 about 22 miles to La Sal Junction.
• Go left, toward, and passing through La Sal to mile 12.7, where a dirt road goes off on the left signed La Sal Pass.
• 1.9 miles from the paved highway, go left toward La Sal Pass
• 7.4 miles from the last junction the road crests the pass with a large parking area on the right and several good camping sights on the left.

Note: If you have a high clearance vehicle, you may wish to take the side road at 6.7 miles. It is rough, but shortens the hike. Follow it 1 mile to its end and the 4x4 trailhead. There is good camping along this road.

Summit: 3877 m ( 12720 ft. )
Trailhead: 3079 m ( 10102 ft. )

La Sal Pass
Head north, crossing the meadow, and wooded areas to reach the obvious gully visible from the trailhead. It is easiest, after the first wooded section, to descend to the east to reach the 4x4 road. This looses a little elevation, but not much. Follow the 4x4 road the the 4x4 trailhead.

4x4 Trailhead
Follow the use trail on the east side of the drainage as it climbs through the trees. Shortly, it reaches the gully proper and the hike steepens and becomes rocky. Follow the gully upward. About 1/2 way to the ridge, a well worn use trail climbs steeply up the right slope. Though steep, this is the recommended route. An alternative is to follow the gully proper to the ridge.

Once on the ridge, follow it east as it passes a small summit and climbs to the true summit. There are several social trails here at lower levels. Stay on the most used higher trail. The lower trails tend to fade and/or are harder than the minor elevation gain and loss of the main upper trail.

The summit offers astounding views of the desert around Moab and other La Sal peaks. Return the same way.
