Beginning at the campground, you will be immersed in a beautiful aspen forest with stunning foliage during the autumn. As you ascend the mesa, you will find some rocks along the path, but they are not overly difficult to navigate. Once you reach the peak, you will be rewarded with a speedy descent into the river bottom. Although you can ride Boren Mesa Trail in either direction, it is generally easier to begin at the campground. During the summer months, this trail can be incorporated into a larger loop of the La Sals to avoid the heat. Be aware that there may be cattle in the area, so look out for any sudden bumps on the blind corners.
