Canyonlands National Park rivals Moab’s other geological wonder, Arches National Park, but it’s more of a hidden gem, which means that there’s a lot more space to spread out in and explore. The park is divided into two primary districts – Island in the Sky and the Needles – and both have plenty to offer. Canyonlands is a captivating destination, and Esquire Estates MH & RV Park in Castle Dale, Utah, offers the perfect spot to call home while you get down to the business of adventuring.
CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK
Canyonlands National Park
The Island in the Sky District
The Island in the Sky District’s proximity to Moab and Arches National Park makes it a favorite area of Canyonlands, and it has plenty to offer, including:
- Expansive views
- Breathtaking overlooks
- Beautiful hikes for those with every level of experience
This district is nestled in a mesa that towers nearly 1,000 feet over the park’s floor, which means that it offers jaw-dropping views but is also dangerous – watch your children and watch your step carefully. Even if you’re not into hiking, you won’t regret planning to spend at least a day in the Island in the Sky District and allowing yourself to hit each of the spectacular overlooks, including:
- Grand View Point Overlook
- Candlestick Tower Overlook
- Shafer Canyon Overlook
- White Rim Road, which skirts the Island in the Sky District and is accessible by off-road and high clearance, 4WD vehicles
The Needles District
The Needles District offers something entirely different. It boasts stunning sandstone spires and next-level hiking and off-roading trails for the adventurous set. For example, experienced hikers enjoy the Druid Arch Trail, which climbs a rugged 1,600 feet and provides one of the park’s most spectacular views of the Druid. Because the hikes throughout the park are rugged and afford little shade, it’s important to bring plenty of water.
