Canyonlands National Park, located near Moab, Utah, offers a stunning landscape of canyons, mesas, and rivers carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers. The park is divided into three districts: Island in the Sky (most accessible with panoramic views), The Needles (known for its sandstone spires and hiking), and The Maze (remote and requiring advanced planning). Accessibility varies by district, with Island in the Sky offering paved roads and viewpoints suitable for all visitors. The Needles offers some accessible trails, while The Maze is only accessible via high-clearance 4x4 vehicles or backpacking. Both solo and guided visits are possible, with guided tours recommended for The Maze. Seasonal restrictions may apply, particularly in winter due to snow and ice. Entrance fees are approximately $30 per vehicle, valid for 7 days. A typical visit duration ranges from a day trip to several days, depending on the district and activities chosen. Stargazing is also a popular activity due to the park's dark skies.
