5 Things to do at Canyonlands National Park!

Here are 5 Things to do at Canyonlands National Park! This park is located right outside Moab, Utah and is also only 30 minutes from Arches National Park! It’s easy to do both parks in the same trip.

1.) Hike to Mesa Arch at sunrise for the perfect photo. It’s a shirt out and back hike that anyone can do!

2.) Explore the Needles District for beautiful rock formations and colorful landscapes. Lots of people don’t even know this section of the park exists!

3.) Take a scenic drive along the Grand View Point and enjoy breathtaking canyon views. This is the main road that takes you through the park!

4.) Go stargazing at night – the dark skies in Canyonlands are incredible.

5.) Picnic at one of the overlooks and enjoy the serene beauty of the canyons.
