Canyonlands National Park
Only 30 minutes from Arches, Canyonlands is Utah’s most underutilized national park which is an obvious travesty. Nevertheless, this place offers up some of the best adventure opportunities in the entire state. Canyonlands is particularly known for its “big three”: Island in the Sky, the Needles District, and The Maze. Each one of these locations is chock full of hiking/biking/off-roading/camping options and include some of the most spectacular viewing areas you will ever see in your lifetime. Giant flat-top mesas, scored sediment, chopped buttes, and carved petroglyphs will, together, show you things that you’ll never forget.
