The Canyonlands. The Colorado and Green Rivers converge here
nearly 2,500 feet below the high mesas. Mountain ranges surround this
area. The La Sals to the east, the Abojos to the south, and the Henrys to the
southwest. Canyonlands National Park is segregated into three Districts – the
Needles (lower elevation in the Canyonlands), the Maze (a 4wd adventure) and Island in the Sky (expansive mesa views). Don’t overlook Deadhorse Point State
Park, immediately adjacent to the National Park, with arguably the best high rim hike. Kind of a gruesome story as to how the State Park got its name!
