Spanning over 337,000 acres in southeastern Utah, Canyonlands National Park is a dramatic landscape of deep canyons, towering mesas, and sculpted buttes carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers. The park is divided into distinct districts, each offering its own blend of accessibility, solitude, and raw beauty. You can hike rim trails with sweeping overlooks in Island in the Sky, scramble through spire-filled valleys in The Needles, or venture into the remote wilderness of The Maze for real backcountry escape. Just be sure to prepare for intense heat and harsh sun, especially during the summer months.
