Review:

Located not far from the town of Moab, Canyonlands National Park is another park that showcases the dramatic, colorful rock formations of Utah. The park is divided into four districts, but the most accessible and family-friendly is the Island in the Sky, which features a scenic drive with dozens of viewpoint pullouts. There are also plenty of hiking trails, some of which lead along the rim and some of which descend down into the canyon. Guided hikes of the park's more remote regions are offered on summer weekends, and rangers often host stargazing programs in the evenings.
