Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah is known for its dramatic desert landscape carved by the Colorado River. Island in the Sky is a huge, flat-topped mesa with panoramic overlooks. Other notable areas include the towering rock pinnacles known as the Needles, the remote canyons of the Maze, and the Native American rock paintings in Horseshoe Canyon. Whitewater rapids flow through Cataract Canyon.

2

Cataract Canyon

Cataract Canyon is a 46-mile-long canyon of the Colorado River located within Canyonlands National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in southern Utah.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Corona Arch

Corona Arch is a natural sandstone arch near Moab. The arch is located within the same rock formation as Pinto Arch and Bowtie Arch.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

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.

11

Whale Rock

In front of you is perhaps the world’s largest whale. Don’t see it? The whale’s head is on the left side of the rock. There’s an easy one-mile hike that takes you up along the whale’s back. When you get on top of this cetacean, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Upheaval Dome.

12

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.

13

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.

14

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.

15

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.

16

Orange Cliffs Overlook

The cowboys used the Orange Cliffs extensively. They called a part of these cliffs “Under the Ledge” — since it was a distinct area that sorta appeared to be underneath a huge, rocky ledge.

17

Grand View Point 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!

18

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.

19

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.

Parc national de Canyonlands

Le parc national de Canyonlands, dans le sud-est de l'Utah, est connu pour son paysage désertique spectaculaire sculpté par le fleuve Colorado. Island in the Sky est une immense mesa au sommet plat avec vue panoramique. Parmi les autres zones remarquables, citons les imposants pinacles rocheux connus sous le nom de Needles, les canyons isolés du labyrinthe et les peintures rupestres amérindiennes du Horseshoe Canyon. Des rapides d'eau vive traversent Cataract Canyon.

97

Canyon de la cataracte

Cataract Canyon est un canyon de 46 miles de long du fleuve Colorado situé dans le parc national de Canyonlands et la zone de loisirs nationale de Glen Canyon dans le sud de l'Utah.

98

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.

99

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.

100

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.

101

Arche de la Couronne

Corona Arch est une arche de grès naturel près de Moab. L'arche est située dans la même formation rocheuse que Pinto Arch et Bowtie Arch.

102

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.

103

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.

104

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.

105

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.

106

Rocher de baleine

Devant vous se trouve peut-être la plus grande baleine du monde. Vous ne le voyez pas ? La tête de la baleine est sur le côté gauche du rocher. Il y a une randonnée facile d'un mile qui vous emmène le long du dos de la baleine. Lorsque vous arriverez au sommet de ce cétacé, vous serez récompensé par des vues spectaculaires sur le dôme Upheaval.

107

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.

108

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.

109

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.

110

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.

111

Vue sur les falaises d'Orange

Les cow-boys ont beaucoup utilisé les falaises d'Orange. Ils ont appelé une partie de ces falaises "Under the Ledge" - car il s'agissait d'une zone distincte qui semblait en quelque sorte se trouver sous un énorme rebord rocheux.

112

Vue imprenable sur le grand point de vue

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 !

113

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.

114

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.

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.

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.

119

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.

120

Corona Arch Trail

Corona Arch is a natural sandstone arch near Moab. The arch is located within the same rock formation as Pinto Arch and Bowtie Arch.

121

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.

122

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.

123

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.

124

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.

125

Whale Rock

In front of you is perhaps the world’s largest whale. Don’t see it? The whale’s head is on the left side of the rock. There’s an easy one-mile hike that takes you up along the whale’s back. When you get on top of this cetacean, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Upheaval Dome.

126

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.

127

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.

128

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.

129

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.

130

Orange Cliffs Overlook

The cowboys used the Orange Cliffs extensively. They called a part of these cliffs “Under the Ledge” — since it was a distinct area that sorta appeared to be underneath a huge, rocky ledge.

131

Grand View Point 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!

132

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.

133

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.

134

Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah is known for its dramatic desert landscape carved by the Colorado River. Island in the Sky is a huge, flat-topped mesa with panoramic overlooks. Other notable areas include the towering rock pinnacles known as the Needles, the remote canyons of the Maze, and the Native American rock paintings in Horseshoe Canyon. Whitewater rapids flow through Cataract Canyon. Note: This 62+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Canyonlands National Park in 2-3 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
