Canyonlands National Park’s scenery and seemingly endless canyons will leave you breathless. The immense expanse of deep canyons and massive rock formations is something everyone should see if they have the chance. The Island in the Sky District is the most visited part of the park. This district features many sites that are worth seeing. These are my recommendations for sites you should see when you are in the Island in the Sky District. These are some park highlights if you only have a day or two to visit this section of Canyonlands.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Visitor Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prior to heading into Canyonlands National Park, you should make a stop at the visitor center to learn more about the park’s geology and to purchase souvenirs. I have started collecting refrigerator magnets from the National Parks I have visited and definitely recommend this or collecting another keepsake from each park that you visit. You can also stamp your National Parks’ Passport at the visitor center and ask the rangers any questions you might have about your visit. It is also one of the few locations where the vault toilets have in ground squatty toilets. You might not find that as neat as I do, but sometimes I am easily amused. After the visitor center, head over to Grand Viewpoint Overlook and White Rim Overlook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
