Visited twice in a month. Phenomenal views everywhere. Stop at as many points of interest as you can. Mesa Arch. Grand View Point. Even drove down from Canyonlands via Potash Rd to Moab where our hotel was. Such a fun and Amazing experience. Lots of photo apps. Will come back and bring others. Love touring National Parks. This Country and this World has so much to offer. Go explore.

Canyonlands was breathtaking. I highly recommend bundling up and going during the winter. No crowds, stunning contrast, just a lovely time overall!!

Beautiful National Park, it's massive!! We enjoyed the beautiful overlooks and a couple short hikes. We especially loved the Mesa Arch, definitely recommend checking that out if you visit this beautiful park!

Absolutely stunning scenery for miles in all directions. I’ve only seen two other vehicles all day and it just feels incredibly remote. Awesome place to come and get away from it all.

Amazing place. Wish i had the rest of my life to fully explore it all. Dinosaur fossils can be found as well as footprint fossils. Wind can be a bit harsh at time, so a windbreaker is recommended especially in winter months. Syncline loop trail is strenuous but an amazing hike. Advise downloading map prior to trying the trail as path can be difficult to see, and someone set cairns up but they will lead you off trail and don't advise followng. Amazing to see so much of Earths history in the short time I was able to spend there.

The Mesa Arch is a must! Short worth it hike, that has you excited for the remainder of the park! We enjoyed what we could see and the attendant in the shop was very helpful! Will be back for more stellar views and longer hikes!

If you’ve gotten more than one day for the canyonland np, definitely spare as much time as you can for the needles district and do a long day-hike there (if you are up for 10+ miles hikes)-wonderful and unique views, no crowds, very fun hikes-Much more memorable experience that way.

My half day experience of the Island in the Sky portion of Canyonlands National Park was well worth it. Hovering 2,200 feet above the Green and Colorado Rivers, the car-friendly viewpoints were breath taking. Close proximity to Arches National Park and the town of Moab.
