Canyonlands National Park, Utah, United States
4.5 (3.807 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #4 in Moab Mountains • National Parks • Canyons
Exceeded Expectations….
We arrived at Arches NP, and were told to come back in 3+ hours, since it was at capacity… We chose to see Canyonlands NP while we waited, which was not too far away…. Having not done adequate advanced research, we didn’t really know what to expect… It was a breathtaking and memorable drive. I traveled with an individual who has limitations, and most everything was visible from the car, or a short walk. There was a Ranger at one area educating the children (& adults). He was very engaging, and the kids’ faces were full of awe and appreciation. My IPhone took great pictures, but I truly wish I had my better camera….. PS- the America The Beautiful park pass is totally worth it!

Beautiful and Exiting
Our Day Trip to Canyonlands was Beautiful and exciting. We only had one day to spend in Canyonlands and this really limits what you can do greatly. The only hike we did there was Mesa arch (1/2 mile round trip) and then we drove the Shafer trail to the connecter road that leads back to Moab (2 hrs and 30 min). I would only recommend to drive the Shafer trail if you have a somewhat high clearance and you are a very confident driver! (We saw a Subaru tipped over on the side) The drive was very bumpy and steep, with lots of pin head turns. Highly recommend coming here even for a half day!

Breathtaking views
We visited the Island in the Sky section of the park and it was a great day. Fantastic and breathtaking views are around every corner. The only thing that stops it from getting 5 stars is the problem with transferring from zone to zone within the park - you just can’t do it. To move to another zone you have to exit the park, drive a distance and then re-enter from a different side. This restricts how much of the park you can see if you have limited time.
