Canyonlands National Park Travel Information
Canyonlands National Park is wild, remote, inhospitable, and terribly
beautiful. It is home to an immense expanse of deep orange-red canyons
and a wonderful array of superlative red rock formations. In addition
to being a feast for the eyes, it provides great opportunities for
hiking, mountain biking, 4wd adventuring, and white water rafting.
Canyonlands is effectively split into three distinct "districts" by
the Colorado and Green rivers. Since there are no bridges across the
rivers, one must drive great distances to visit more than one area.
Canyonlands
should therefore be thought of as three distinct parks -- the Island
in the Sky,
the Needles (accessible through Blanding or Monticello), and the Maze. Each offers the
visitor something a bit different. Canyonlands is located near Moab and Arches National
Park.
