Known for its expansive and dramatic desert landscape, Canyonlands National Park can be found in southeast Utah, about 10 miles southwest of the city of Moab. The park is divided into three separate districts, the natural divide is caused by the flow of the Colorado and Green Rivers. Visitors will find the Island in the Sky district located in the north section of the park, while the Maze district can be found in the west section, and the Needles district in the southeast corner. Visitors will enjoy breathtaking views of towering rock pinnacles, chopped buttes, and surrounding mountain ranges. During hikes throughout the park, visitors may spot carved petroglyphs, sandstone staircases, and Native American rock paintings.
