Canyonlands National Park protects an immense desert wilderness of deep canyons, towering mesas, and rugged buttes carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers. Located in southeastern Utah near Moab, the park is divided into four main districts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the rivers themselves. Each district offers unique landscapes and adventures ranging from scenic overlooks and short hikes to remote backcountry exploration.
