Canyonlands National Park is the largest national park in Utah. It was carved by the Colorado and Green rivers. Cataract Canyon is a popular place to go river rafting. The park has four distinct areas:
- Island in the Sky (paved roads, visitor center, campgrounds, picnic areas)
- The Maze (no paved roads)
- The Needles (paved roads, visitor center, campgrounds, picnic areas)
- Horseshoe Canyon (no paved roads, this is where Aron Ralston cut off his arm after being trapped by a boulder).
We have only ever been in the first area. Park entrance fee $30/vehicle.
More than 80 arches in the park.
