Just outside the town of Moab, Canyonlands National Park encompasses a rocky, colorful landscape that has been carved into majestic rock formations by the Colorado River. The park is divided into four distinct sections, each with its own character, and visitors can also boat or whitewater raft down the river and its many tributaries. The Island in the Sky features easy to moderate hiking trails and a scenic driving route that makes it the best choice for most first-time visitors, but anyone seeking a more rugged, remote experience can head to the Needle or the Maze.
