Whittled Wilderness




Gravity and water from the Green River and the Colorado River carved hundreds of canyons, mesas, buttes, arches, and spires in the Colorado Plateau. Canyonlands National Park preserved this vast wilderness of rock and it remains fairly untrammeled today. While most of its roads are unpaved and its trails primitive, there are numerous overlooks and short hikes that offer incredible vistas.
