About Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands is Utah's largest national park, divided into four distinct districts by the Colorado and Green rivers. The Island in the Sky mesa offers sweeping panoramas from 1,000 feet above the river, the Needles district features colorful sandstone spires and archaeological sites, and the remote Maze is considered the most inaccessible district in the national park system. The rivers' confluence creates a vast labyrinth of canyons stretching to the horizon.
