Unlike the Grand Canyon, you can stand on a plateau at
Canyonlands and gaze for miles and miles over countless
canyons, almost as far as the eye can see. This plateau
is known as Island in the Sky, one of three distinct districts
at Canyonlands.
The other two districts are The Maze and Needles. While
tours to this part of Utah always take in Island in the Sky,
Needles is worth a visit if time permits. The Maze is
literally one of the most desolate areas in the United States
and very difficult to get to. |

Your visit to Canyonlands will take you to the Upheaval Dome
(above left) - which may have been created by a meteor -
Grandview Point, the Schafer Trail View Point (above, second
from left), and the Green River Overlook (above right), to
name a few.
Canyonlands is very close to both Arches and Moab, Utah's outdoor adventure capital. Both the
Colorado and Green Rivers run close to Moab, and the
confluence of the two is actually in Canyonlands. |

Moab is a great place to stay. The Colorado River flows
through town, and many companies offer
rafting trips. On our shared, multi day Grand Canyon
Tours, a raft ride is included as part of the
tour. The world's best known mountain bike
trail, The Slickrock Trail, is also in Moab,
and mountain biking enthusiasts come from all over the world
to try their luck.
