About Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands sits in southeast Utah near Moab and protects a high desert landscape cut into canyons, mesas, buttes, and fins by the Colorado and Green Rivers. The park is split into four districts that are not connected by roads, and each offers different ways to hike, drive, bike, and explore. Visitors can see rock formations and ancient rock art, and the park is also an International Dark Sky Park for stargazing.
