They call the northern part of Canyonlands Island in the sky and it really feels like you are up in the air. As you travel along the paved road (in blue) you get some great views of the rest of park and the Colorado river some 2000' feet below.

This area of the park also has many hiking and off road opportunities. You can access the Official National Parks Service map by clicking the map.

The lovely Miss Lynn and the Roaddog with Canyonlands stretching out behind


Canyons and mesa's everywhere. It would be quite the feat if you were to hike every trail in this place.


Another view from Island in the sky with the Colorado river in view 2000 feet below.


Until you see it for yourself you will not understand the sheer size of this park.


Views around every bend of the road.
