Canonlands Naional Park Utah
In the far southern reaches of Utah, the Colorado and Green Rivers carve the high desert into a labyrinth of red-rock canyons that are sheer ecstasy for the hiker, mountain biker, and whitewater adventurer. The park is broken into three distinct districts — Island in the Sky , The Needles and The Maze . The vast landscape offers hundred-mile vistas of rust-colored pinnacles, high mesas, sculpted buttes, sandstone spires, and sheer crimson cliffs.

Carved out of vast sedimentary rock deposits, this area possesses remarkable natural features that support a fascinating desert ecosystem.
