Canyonlands National Park

While the Toad was at Arches Auto Repair on Wednesday, we took the rental car to Canyonlands National Park which is about 30 miles from Moab.




Canyonlands reminded me a great deal of Bryce Canyon. You sort of drive around the area and look down into the incredible canyons.




It is possible if you have the time (two days) and four-wheel drive, to take the hundred mile or so dirt road, the White Rim Trail, that follows around the rim below.





The canyons in the park are creations of the Green and Colorado Rivers, which divide the part into three distinct sections. The part we visited is called 'Islands in the Sky.'
