1

Arches Visitor Center

Our adventure into the astounding Arches begins just before the park's entrance and visitor center. We're about to see stunning natural monuments, unlikely rock formations, and alien, ancient landscapes.

2

Delicate Arch

Now we're at THE most famous spot in Arches: Delicate Arch. A quick hike brings us right up to this gorgeous - and improbable - formation.

3

Salt Valley Road

This is one of the park’s quieter attractions. Like Cache Valley, Salt Valley was formed by the collapse of many sandstone domes. The broken pieces of rock littering the ground are leftovers from that collapse.

4

Fiery Furnace

Our drive continues past the Fiery Furnace: a network of narrow canyons & passages amid towering red cliffs at Arches National Park.

5

Sand Dune Arch

As we drive, exploring more arches, we'll learn more about the Paiute myths behind them, the Spanish and Mormon settlers who tried to survive in this land, and the people who were able to preserve this stunning landscape as a national park.

6

Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations

Look to the right. All you can see at the moment are tall rock walls. That’s because we’re near the floor of Sevenmile Canyon. As we continue to drive, we’ll emerge from the canyon and be able to see two very distinct features in the distance to the right -- the Merrimac and the Monitor.

7

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point — it’s a creepy name, isn’t it? According to local legend, wild mustangs used to be corralled here to be broken in the early 1800s. Once all the desirable horses had been broken and claimed by the cowboys, the undesirables were left to go free.

8

Island In The Sky Visitor Center

Stop by the Visitor Center coming up ahead. It’s a great place to grab supplies, use the bathroom, and fill up your water bottles. As you’ve already seen, this park doesn’t have much infrastructure, and being dehydrated out here is no joke.

9

Shafer Canyon Overlook

This overlook offers views from three sides. It may be a bit daunting if you're afraid of heights since there’s nothing between you and the Canyon. However, the incredible view is worth it.

10

Lathrop Canyon

A lot of natural landmarks and trails in Canyonlands are named by or after cowboys and ranchers. In fact, Ned Chaffin’s father and one of his brothers had a spring named after them.

11

Mesa Arch

"Ahead, pull over for Mesa Arch. This is a must-do at Canyonlands. Once you’ve parked, walk along the short trail to the arch. As you walk, notice the juniper and pinyon trees around you. These are popular in Canyonlands so keep an eye out for them elsewhere too."

12

Green River Overlook

The Green River Overlook offers some of the most unique views of Canyonland’s Island in the Sky District. You’re able to see the Green River continuing its work on the canyon walls. The river is the largest stream in Utah at 730 miles. The name probably comes from the green soapstone that can be found along its banks.

13

Aztec Butte Trail

What makes this trail special? Simple: the granaries left here by Native peoples. They’re visible from the base of the last hill if you just keep your eyes open. These granaries are hundreds of years old, so be careful when approaching.

14

Upheaval Dome

Remember how the park’s rocks have been formed in layers? In most of the park, these layers haven’t been disrupted since their formation. What you see is what was deposited, all those hundreds of millions of years ago.

15

Candlestick Tower Overlook

In the distance, do you see three giant candles sticking out of the landscape? That’s Candlestick Tower! Doesn’t this sandstone formation look like a layered birthday cake, topped with candles? * The bottom layer is white, the middle a reddish-brown, and the top is red.

16

Murphy Point Trail

The trail that leads to Murphy Point Overlook is quite easy, adding up to 3.5 miles roundtrip. While the hike itself doesn’t offer much in the way of scenery, the overlook provides a stunning view of Stillwater Canyon and the Green River.

17

Buck Canyon Overlook

Here you’ll see spectacular views of Buck Canyon and the La Sal mountains. The short trail is paved, making it one of the most accessible places in the park. There’s also a rail that stands between you and the canyon, so if you are scared of heights, this overlook is perfect for you.

18

White Rim Overlook Trail

This is a great place to rest and enjoy a quick meal! There are only eight tables, so be sure to claim one if there are any available.

19

Orange Cliffs Overlook

We’re now at the end of the Canyonlands National Park tour. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey! If you enjoyed the tour, check out our other tours of nearby Arches, Bryce, Zion, and more!

20

41

Centre d'accueil des Arches

Notre aventure dans les étonnantes Arches commence juste avant l'entrée du parc et le centre d'accueil. Nous sommes sur le point de voir de superbes monuments naturels, des formations rocheuses improbables et des paysages extraterrestres et anciens.

42

Arc délicat

Nous sommes maintenant au spot le plus célèbre d'Arches : Delicate Arch. Une randonnée rapide nous amène jusqu'à cette magnifique - et improbable - formation.

43

Route de la vallée du sel

C'est l'une des attractions les plus calmes du parc. Comme Cache Valley, Salt Valley a été formée par l'effondrement de nombreux dômes de grès. Les morceaux de roche brisés qui jonchent le sol sont les restes de cet effondrement.

44

Fournaise ardente

Notre route se poursuit au-delà de Fiery Furnace : un réseau de canyons et de passages étroits au milieu d'imposantes falaises rouges dans le parc national des Arches.

45

Arche des dunes de sable

En conduisant, en explorant plus d'arches, nous en apprendrons davantage sur les mythes Paiute derrière eux, les colons espagnols et mormons qui ont essayé de survivre sur cette terre et les personnes qui ont pu préserver ce magnifique paysage en tant que parc national.

46

Formations rocheuses Monitor et Merrimac

Regardez à droite. Tout ce que vous pouvez voir pour le moment, ce sont de hautes parois rocheuses. C'est parce que nous sommes près du sol de Sevenmile Canyon. Alors que nous continuons à conduire, nous émergerons du canyon et pourrons voir deux caractéristiques très distinctes au loin vers la droite - le Merrimac et le Monitor.

47

Parc d'État de Dead Horse Point

Dead Horse Point - c'est un nom effrayant, n'est-ce pas? Selon la légende locale, les mustangs sauvages étaient parqués ici pour être brisés au début des années 1800. Une fois que tous les chevaux désirables avaient été débourrés et réclamés par les cow-boys, les indésirables étaient laissés libres.

48

Centre d'accueil des visiteurs de l'île dans le ciel

Arrêtez-vous au centre d'accueil qui vous attend. C'est un endroit idéal pour prendre des fournitures, utiliser la salle de bain et remplir vos bouteilles d'eau. Comme vous l'avez déjà vu, ce parc n'a pas beaucoup d'infrastructures, et être déshydraté ici n'est pas une blague.

49

Surplombant le canyon de Shafer

Ce belvédère offre des vues de trois côtés. Cela peut être un peu intimidant si vous avez peur des hauteurs car il n'y a rien entre vous et le Canyon. Cependant, la vue incroyable en vaut la peine.

50

Canyon de Lathrop

De nombreux sites naturels et sentiers de Canyonlands portent le nom ou le nom de cow-boys et d'éleveurs. En fait, le père de Ned Chaffin et l'un de ses frères avaient une source qui porte leur nom.

51

Arc de Mesa

"En avant, arrêtez-vous pour Mesa Arch. C'est un incontournable à Canyonlands. Une fois que vous êtes garé, marchez le long du court sentier jusqu'à l'arche. En marchant, remarquez les genévriers et les pinyons qui vous entourent. Ceux-ci sont populaires à Canyonlands, alors gardez un œil sur eux ailleurs aussi."

52

Vue sur la rivière verte

Le Green River Overlook offre certaines des vues les plus uniques de l'île de Canyonland dans le Sky District. Vous pouvez voir la Green River poursuivre son travail sur les parois du canyon. La rivière est le plus grand ruisseau de l'Utah à 730 miles. Le nom vient probablement de la stéatite verte que l'on trouve le long de ses rives.

53

Sentier de la butte aztèque

Qu'est-ce qui rend ce sentier spécial? Simple : les greniers laissés ici par les Amérindiens. Ils sont visibles depuis la base de la dernière colline si vous gardez simplement les yeux ouverts. Ces greniers ont des centaines d'années, soyez donc prudent lorsque vous vous en approchez.

54

Dôme de bouleversement

Vous souvenez-vous comment les roches du parc ont été formées en couches ? Dans la majeure partie du parc, ces couches n'ont pas été perturbées depuis leur formation. Ce que vous voyez est ce qui a été déposé, il y a toutes ces centaines de millions d'années.

55

Vue sur la tour des chandeliers

Au loin, voyez-vous trois bougies géantes qui sortent du paysage ? C'est Candlestick Tower ! Cette formation de grès ne ressemble-t-elle pas à un gâteau d'anniversaire en couches, surmonté de bougies ? * La couche inférieure est blanche, celle du milieu est brun rougeâtre et celle du dessus est rouge.

56

Sentier de la pointe Murphy

Le sentier qui mène à Murphy Point Overlook est assez facile, ajoutant jusqu'à 3,5 miles aller-retour. Bien que la randonnée elle-même n'offre pas beaucoup de paysages, le belvédère offre une vue imprenable sur Stillwater Canyon et la rivière Green.

57

Vue sur Buck Canyon

Ici, vous verrez des vues spectaculaires sur Buck Canyon et les montagnes de La Sal. Le court sentier est pavé, ce qui en fait l'un des endroits les plus accessibles du parc. Il y a aussi un rail qui se dresse entre vous et le canyon, donc si vous avez peur des hauteurs, ce belvédère est parfait pour vous.

58

Sentier de surplomb de la jante blanche

C'est un endroit idéal pour se reposer et profiter d'un repas rapide ! Il n'y a que huit tables, alors assurez-vous d'en réclamer une s'il y en a de disponibles.

59

Vue sur les falaises d'Orange

Nous sommes maintenant à la fin de la visite du parc national de Canyonlands. J'espère que vous avez apprécié le voyage! Si vous avez apprécié la visite, consultez nos autres visites d'Arches, Bryce, Zion et bien plus encore !

60

As we drive, exploring more arches, we'll learn more about the Paiute myths behind them, the Spanish and Mormon settlers who tried to survive in this land, and the people who were able to preserve this stunning landscape as a national park.

126

Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations

Look to the right. All you can see at the moment are tall rock walls. That’s because we’re near the floor of Sevenmile Canyon. As we continue to drive, we’ll emerge from the canyon and be able to see two very distinct features in the distance to the right -- the Merrimac and the Monitor.

127

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point — it’s a creepy name, isn’t it? According to local legend, wild mustangs used to be corralled here to be broken in the early 1800s. Once all the desirable horses had been broken and claimed by the cowboys, the undesirables were left to go free.

128

Island in the Sky

Stop by the Visitor Center coming up ahead. It’s a great place to grab supplies, use the bathroom, and fill up your water bottles. As you’ve already seen, this park doesn’t have much infrastructure, and being dehydrated out here is no joke.

129

Shafer Canyon Overlook

This overlook offers views from three sides. It may be a bit daunting if you're afraid of heights since there’s nothing between you and the Canyon. However, the incredible view is worth it.

130

Lathrop Canyon

A lot of natural landmarks and trails in Canyonlands are named by or after cowboys and ranchers. In fact, Ned Chaffin’s father and one of his brothers had a spring named after them.

131

Mesa Arch

"Ahead, pull over for Mesa Arch. This is a must-do at Canyonlands. Once you’ve parked, walk along the short trail to the arch. As you walk, notice the juniper and pinyon trees around you. These are popular in Canyonlands so keep an eye out for them elsewhere too."

132

Green River Overlook

The Green River Overlook offers some of the most unique views of Canyonland’s Island in the Sky District. You’re able to see the Green River continuing its work on the canyon walls. The river is the largest stream in Utah at 730 miles. The name probably comes from the green soapstone that can be found along its banks.

133

Aztec Butte Trail

What makes this trail special? Simple: the granaries left here by Native peoples. They’re visible from the base of the last hill if you just keep your eyes open. These granaries are hundreds of years old, so be careful when approaching.

134

Upheaval Dome

Remember how the park’s rocks have been formed in layers? In most of the park, these layers haven’t been disrupted since their formation. What you see is what was deposited, all those hundreds of millions of years ago.

135

Candlestick Tower Overlook

In the distance, do you see three giant candles sticking out of the landscape? That’s Candlestick Tower! Doesn’t this sandstone formation look like a layered birthday cake, topped with candles? * The bottom layer is white, the middle a reddish-brown, and the top is red.

136

Murphy Point Trail

The trail that leads to Murphy Point Overlook is quite easy, adding up to 3.5 miles roundtrip. While the hike itself doesn’t offer much in the way of scenery, the overlook provides a stunning view of Stillwater Canyon and the Green River.

137

Buck Canyon Overlook

Here you’ll see spectacular views of Buck Canyon and the La Sal mountains. The short trail is paved, making it one of the most accessible places in the park. There’s also a rail that stands between you and the canyon, so if you are scared of heights, this overlook is perfect for you.

138

White Rim Overlook Trail

This is a great place to rest and enjoy a quick meal! There are only eight tables, so be sure to claim one if there are any available.
