| Getting there:
To ride the trail point-to-point, leave a
shuttle car at the northern trailhead. To get there, travel south from Moab's
Center
Street 4 miles. Watch for a gas/convenience store at a "T" intersection
on your
left. Turn left (east) here. A couple of blocks later, this road becomes
Spanish Trail
Road. Continue until it becomes Canyonlands (for about 100 yards). At the
next
intersection, turn right (east) on Westwater. Follow Westwater up to the
top of the hill,
where you'll see a trail sign on the right and a parking area on the left.
It's two miles
from the highway to the trailhead. To get to the southern trailhead, drive back to US-191 and go south about 4 miles (you're now 8 miles south of Moab). Watch for a road on your left for Ken's Lake and La Sal Loop Road. Drive 0.5 miles, then turn right. Keep left at the next two intersections, following the signs for Ken's Lake. When the paved road veers left, keep straight (see the road going up the hill?). For point-to-point, drive on up to the hilltop, and park on the left in front of the cattleguard. For a loop, don't climb the hill. Instead, turn right into the camping area at the bottom of the wash and park there.
