Situated in southeastern Utah, Canyonlands National Park encompasses a vast and rugged landscape of canyons, mesas, and towering rock formations carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. This remote and untamed wilderness offers visitors a chance to explore the raw beauty of the desert Southwest, with opportunities for hiking, backpacking, and four-wheel driving.

Canyonlands National Park is divided into four distinct districts, each offering its own unique scenery and recreational opportunities: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the riverside districts.
The park's expansive size and rugged terrain mean that visitors should come prepared with plenty of water, food, and supplies, as services are limited.
The park is divided into four districts that are not connected by direct roads.
Some viewpoints or trails require high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicles.
