Canyonlands
National Park preserves a colorful landscape of sedimentary sandstones
eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River
and its tributaries. The Colorado and Green rivers divide the park into
four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze and the rivers
themselves. While the districts share a primitive desert atmosphere, each
retains its own character and offers different opportunities for exploration
and learning.
