Welcome to Canyonlands!

Canyonlands preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character and offers different opportunities for exploration.

		Winter Hours of Operation The contrast between red rock and a blanket of snow can make a winter visit to Canyonlands a remarkable experience. While the park is open year-round, visitor center hours change seasonally, and the Needles Visitor Center will be closed for a little over two months starting December 4th. more...
