Trail Map

Getting There
Take U.S. 191 North about 8 miles to the Bar-M Chuckwagon, turn right to enter the Bar-M private parking lot. Park at the South end. Carefully consult the map at the parking lot kiosk to orient yourself and choose a trail. Follow signs and additional maps provided along the route. TAKE LOTS OF WATER!

From the parking lot ride South towards Moab then turn left in 1.2 miles following the directional signs. At the “Merge” turn left and head back North to complete the Bar-M Loop. At the “Merge” you will encounter trailheads for two other trails. Rockin’A and Bar-B. These trails are more difficult, so make sure to stay left on the Bar-M Loop trail.

Attractions
Stunning views of the La Sal Mts., Arches National Park, Courthouse Wash, Seven-Mile Canyon and Fisher Towers. Colorful rocks (chert) used in making native tools and weapons years ago will be seen. Please leave the rocks in place.
