Canyonlands National Park preserves a wilderness of rock at the heart of the Colorado Plateau.

Water and gravity have been prime architects of this land, cutting flat layers of sedimentary rock into hundreds of canyons, mesa, buttes, fins, arches, and spires.

At center stage are two canyons carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers.

Based on the topography of these two canyons, Canyonlands is divided into three districts: Island in the Sky, the Needles, and the Maze.

The closet town to Island in the Sky is Moab, which is 35 miles away. The closest town to Needles is Monticello, which is 50 miles away, and Moab is 75 miles.

The closest town to the Maze is, well there just isn't any.
