Need to Go Offroad

Quote: Unfortunately, I've only done a quick driving tour of this park, with a couple short walks along some of the vistas. You really need to get a 4WD to explore this desolate but beautiful landscape. I look forward to a return trip.

Upheaval Dome, Island in the Sky

  • 4 out of 5 stars by Wasatch from heber ctity, Utah
  • May 2, 2007
Quote: The first view of Upheaval Dome tells you it does not belong here. Whatever it is, it is out of place. To begin, it is neither an upheaval or a dome, it is a pit. Almost circular, four miles across and 1,000 ft. deep, Upheaval Dome puzzles... Read the full Canyonlands National Park: Visitor Center review

Hiking Canyonlands NP
Quote: On a hot day in June, I didn't see a single person during the entire day of hiking. The trail in the canyons is very easy, and for the most part very well marked. A couple of miles up Squaw Canyon there is an official campsite. The site is well... Read the full Canyonlands National Park: Visitor Center review

Shafer Trail - Potash Road
Quote: If you don't have time to ride the 3-day White Rime Trip, this is a half-day alternative. Start early in the morning and head up to the Potash Road. You'll find some great rock-art sites and superb Colorado River vistas. But when the paved road end,... Read the full Canyonlands National Park: Visitor Center review

Canyonlands National Park
Quote: This park is amazing. I only wish I had rented a Jeep 4x4 and visited the Needles section of the park. I did take a brief spin on the Shafer Trail with the low-clearance Buick Rendezvous I rented from Hertz, and it's a bit hairy to say the least. ...
