Canyonlands National Park is divided into 3 distinct districts; The Maze, Island In the Sky, and The Needles District. The above road in The Needles District doesn't have a name. It follows Salt Creek deep into the park to an awesome overlook of The Colorado River. A couple miles past where the above photo was taken, the road became less of a road and became more of a path. I continued to the overlook on foot.
The next four photos were taken at The Overlook.
The next 3 photos were taken near The Needles District visitor center. The great aspect of Canyonlands national Park is that most of the views can be seen from your vehicle's window.
"Wherever we look, there is a wilderness of rocks, deep gorges where the rivers are lost below cliffs and towers and pinnacles, and 10,000 strangely carved forms in every direction, and beyond them mountains blending with the clouds".
