Hiking the Needles District, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

Known as one of the most remote places in the continental U.S., the Needles District challenges and inspires. Marvil at the cedar-colored sandstone spires, the steep box canyons, the lush deep valleys and watering holes, the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, the Colorado River’s Cataract Canyon, and the darkest skies in the United States. Practice your hiking navigation skills on some of the most primitive hiking trails in the National Park system along miles of slickrock.
