What To Expect
Ken's Lake
This is a popular campsite with a lake set against a stunning backdrop of the La Sal Mountains. From the lake, you can hike a short distance to a small waterfall.
The Brumley Arch trail is only two miles round trip, but it's pretty steep and strenuous. You’ll also need to drive on an optional gravel road to get to the trail. At the end, you will be rewarded with a waterfall and the Brumley Arch rock formation.

3.00We were unable to complete. The la sal mountain loop road was closed. We were excited to start but unable.
Not worth it!

1.00Didn’t work for us. Got us off in wrong direction. Voice went in and out. Ended up finding our own way and simply driving through the park.
Picture Perfect

5.00We began the science byway from its southerly intersection with 191, looping north and regaining 191 at the lighted intersection where the Colorado flows underneath. Paved with only a few potholes, an easy and picturesque drive. Several intriguing turnouts but they were closed this time of year as there was still snow in the culverts and once on a north facing slope of the byway.
Excellent!
