Canyonlands National Park (Utah)

Canyonlands National Park is located about 35 minutes west of Moab. The park consists of four different areas, some of which are only accessible with a special permit and a four-wheel drive vehicle.
We entered the park from the north, which is probably the most visited part of the park. It is called Island In The Sky, which describes the place quite well. There are several overlooks that offer incredible views of the canyons below. Our favorite was the Grand View Overlook, where you have a 270° view of the two deep canyons formed by the Green River and the Colorado River.
We took several short hikes to the overlooks and to the top of Whale Rock and took some nice panoramic photos trying to capture the vast wilderness.Læs mere
