Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands National Park, in southeastern Utah, is divided into distinct districts: The River, Island in the Sky, The Needles and The Maze. Each district of this vast park is unique. The River District has stretches of the Green and Colorado Rivers, both lazy and wild. The Island in the Sky is a huge mesa with paved roads and scenic overlooks into the wild canyon country below. The Needles section is named for its myriad rock spires, fins and formations. The Maze is some of the wildest and most rugged country in the United States. The area can only be accessed by hiking or mountain bike trails, on the Colorado River or via limited four-wheel-drive trails.
