Canyonlands National Park, UT

 September 13, 2024

Today we went to Canyonlands National Park.  Canyonlands didn't become a national park until 1964.  There are three sections of the park: Island in the Sky, The Maze, and the Needles.  We drove to the closest area to Moab, Island in the Sky.  The Needles is accessible by car but it's a long ways from Moab.  Many parts of the park are not accessible except by trails for 4-wheel drive vehicles.   It took us over four hours just to do Island in the Sky.  The area sort of reminded me of the Grand Canyon, only here you can drive down into the canyons and look up while at the Grand Canyon you can only look down (unless you want to do some serious hiking).  Here are a few pictures.

It's beautiful country!

Tomorrow we'll be...

Roving on...
