Canyonlands National Park

"Explore Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah, where the Colorado River has carved deep canyons, creating a breathtaking landscape. The park is divided into districts like Island in the Sky and The Needles, each featuring unique geological wonders. With vast mesas and remote spots like The Maze, it's a magnet for outdoor lovers interested in activities like hiking and river rafting. The rugged beauty of the park makes it an enticing destination for those in search of the untamed landscapes of the American Southwest."

"An early 4 hour drive from Salt Lake (where we spent the night), took us to this amazing National Park. To me, it literally resembles Grand Canyon so much! Obviously nothing competes with "The Grand Canyon", but this is a close second. We spent most of the time driving around and checking out the viewpoints, which are so picturesque and easily accessible. Note that this park has 2 entrances, which are about 2 hours from one another, so plan accordingly, especially if you do not have entire day to spend here."

"One day is plenty of time to see the main highlights in Canyonlands National Park. We recommend three short hikes, that each provide a different experience and perspective over the canyon. "
