Us Manti-La Sal National Forest Almost 160,000 acres of area woodlands are designated National Forest. The Moab Ranger District, of the USFS, administers a large block of the Manti-La Sal National Forest in the La Sal Mountains southeast of Moab. The second highest range in Utah, these alpine mountains offer excellent opportunities for hiking, camping, cycling and mountain climbing and are a perfect place to escape the summer heat. Capped with snow much of the year, they also serve as nature's backdrop for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
Fishing is available in small mountain lakes throughout the forest.
Bicycles, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles may be used on designated roads. Dozens of miles of cross-country trails and 'hut to hut' ski systems provide winter fun. Many beautiful campsites, including Warner Lake, are available on a first come, first serve basis. Fees, maps and information are available from the USFS or the Moab Information Center.
