Canyonlands National Park

Canyonland National Park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River and their tributaries. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character and offers different opportunities for exploration. There are no roads that directly link each district, so getting to each district will take some driving time on paved highways.
