Three Sections: Island In The Sky, The Needles, and The Maze — 1 year ago
Worth visiting!
Canyonlands National Park is divided into three separate sections by the Colorado and Green Rivers, and to get from one section to another requires extensive driving around and outside of the park. The separate sections are effectively like completely separate parks, although there’s only one entrance fee. Island in the Sky is the North section, is close to Arches National Park and Moab, and has incredible views accessible without hiking. Needles is a good 1.5 hour drive from Moab, and to really see what the area has to offer (like Chesler Park, &c.) requires some hiking and/or high-clearance 4-wheel driving. The Maze section is extremely remote and only accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles.
Not that exciting of an entry, but I just thought that this information should be up here for people thinking about coming here. More information is available on the Canyonlands National Park website.
