Exploring Outside the 303
A solitary person is standing atop a vast, rocky butte or mesa, gazing out across a seemingly endless expanse of rugged, arid terrain. The butte is composed of layers of sedimentary rock in shades of warm oranges and reds, a distinctive feature of the American Southwest. The individual is dwarfed by the immense scale of the landscape, appearing as a tiny speck against the backdrop of a brilliant blue sky dotted with wispy white clouds. The scene exudes a profound sense of solitude, tranquility, and the raw, untamed beauty of nature.

Canyonlands NP: Island in the Sky Hikes and Overlooks

Canyonlands NP Review (save this for later)⁠ ⁠ Canyonlands NP is a crossover between Grand Canyon and Arches with the coloring and huge canyons. This park has 3 sections in total. We explored Island in The Sky. ⁠ We hiked Mesa Arch, Whale Rock (which was the kids fav), and Upheaval Dome. We took in the views at many of the overlooks. ⁠ This park is very kid friendly and wheelchair/stroller accessible at the overlooks. Also, the other sections of the park have amazing hiking and back country camping that require a permit. ⁠ We visited this park while we were in Moab and we boondocked for a few nights and then moved to an RV resort about 30 minutes north. ⁠ Our ratings:⁠ Access: 8/10 ⁠ Crowds: 7/10 ⁠ Kids Friendly: 8/10⁠ Camping Near By: 10/10⁠ Overall: 7/10⁠ ⁠ We loved the overlooks and the few hikes we did. It did start to get crowded when we were leaving but we were also there on a FREE day on a weekend. We want to go back and rent Jeeps to take Shafer trail and stay overnight deep in the park. ⁠ ❓Have you been to Canyonlands NP?
