- Description
If you are looking for a smooth ride in a beautiful part of the Boulder mountain, take a trip from Loa to Escalante across the mountain.
The Trail is located on the Boulder Mountain Western slopes, accessed from the North via Loa, Bicknell, Teasdale or Torrey.
We started in Loa. Following Main Street south maintain a southerly course on South Main until it turns to Big Rock Road after the highway makes a 90 degree turn towards Lyman. Just keep heading south when you reach Big Hollow Rd which will take you up onto the mountain.
There are several signs along the way giving you distance to Escalante so it’s hard to get lost once you are on the right route out of Loa.
But, its will help if you grab the GPS track.
Check out the other trails in this area, you can easily combine this ride with several others.
