Presentazione generale

Canyonlands

Plates covered by Colorado and Green River, mesas and canyons immense.

The discovery of Canyonlands revolves around Mesa Arch, Island in the Sky and The Needles. The stay thus alternates between desert areas, river landscapes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Vedi tutto

For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Nature and panorama

Mesa Arch

4,7 / 5· HidengoDa 30 min a 1 h 30

Mesa Arch is a low arch on the edge of a cliff of Island in the Sky, dials the canyons and the La Sal Mountains in the distance. At sunrise, its sub-face often lights up orange, but even later, the contrast between the near arch and the void behind it remains striking.

Nature and landscape

Island in the Sky

4,6 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

Island in the Sky forms a suspended plateau between the Colorado and Green River canyons, accessible by a road punctuated with gazebos. The views are immense but legible: mesas, faults, runway laces and layers of rock rise under the feet, without requiring long steps.

Place indismissible

The Needles

4,5 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

The Needles shows a more distant and mineral Canyonlands, with striped sandstone needles, domes, discreet arches and long trails. The area takes longer than Island in the Sky, but it rewards walkers by a real proximity to the desert formations and open spaces.

Nature and landscape

Grand View Point

4,5 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

Grand View Point ends the route of Island in the Sky with a panorama of the canyons, butts and plateaux cut from Canyonlands. The edge path extends the view without great difficulty, with subtle changes of angle that reveal the depth of the ravines under the mesa.
