With so many cool and fun things to do in Moab, many people stop here when visiting this desert state, mostly due to its proximity to three awesome USA national parks: Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef.
Canyonlands National Park: Needles and Islands in the Sky
There is over a three hour drive between Islands in the Sky and the Needles District so we recommend splitting this park two explore in two days, one for each section.
Dead Horse Point is one of the most photographed scenic vistas in the USA. The overlook towers 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, providing a breathtaking panorama of Canyonlands’ sculpted pinnacles and buttes.
You will definitely want a little bit of courage and an adventurous spirit to tackle those switchback coming down from Islands in the Sky. Be assured, they look worse than what they are. Drive with caution.
