Canyonlands National Park Attractions

Canyonlands is all about adventure. Whether taking in a ranger program at the Island in the Sky visitor center or exploring the aptly-named Maze section for several days, this national park is a feast for the senses. See a hawk on the wing high above in the sky. Marvel at the millions of clearly visible stars at night. Peer down into deep, richly-colored canyons from the rims above. Or peer up after you've hiked to the bottom of them. Pull on your hiking boots and hit the trail in this national park that offers amazing exploration!
