Canyonlands National Park in Utah has unbeatable views that should put it on anyone's bucket list. While viewing the canyons from above is beautiful, one should descend into the canyons for the best perspective - and we know just the road to do it! Canyonlands National Park consists of three distinct districts - Island in the Sky, the Mazes, and the Needles. Island in the Sky is one of the easiest areas to reach and experience in the park, with promising views of sheer sandstone cliffs and deep canyon walls. Visitors will find plenty of awe-inspiring stops that don't require much walking to enjoy (though opportunities to stretch legs are certainly available as well)! Near the visitor center, is Shafer Canyon Overlook which allows for views of Shafer Road twisting and turning, descending down to the canyon floor. For those brave enough and with a higher clearance vehicle, they can make this drive. It's not for the faint of heart! Canyonlands also boasts arches for itself. Mesa Arch has one of the most panoramic views one can find in the park - it perfectly frames the far-off landscape as though it were created on purpose. For views that seem to come from another world, Green River Overlook and Grand View Overlook are must-stops - some of our most recommended places in the park.
