Canyonlands National Park in Utah is a breathtaking expanse of rugged desert landscape, renowned for its dramatic canyons, mesas, and buttes carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. Established in 1964, the park is divided into four distinct districts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the rivers themselves. Each district offers unique vistas and experiences, from the panoramic overlooks of Island in the Sky to the colorful spires and rock formations of The Needles. The Maze is the most remote and challenging area, ideal for those seeking solitude and adventure.
