Inspiring Hikes - Canyonlands

When hiking in the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands you can't help but be a bit overwhelmed with the scenery.  From mysterious craters and domes that challenge your nerve, to layered canyons as far as you can see, it is immense.

Hikes can vary anywhere from quarter mile loops to multi-day adventures in the lower canyon.  Hit the highlights in a day, or take more time to explore deeper.

Here are some of my favorite spots:

Upheaval Dome

Whale Rock

Grand View Point

Go Out in Style - Dead Horse Point State Park

For those who remember Thelma and Louise, here is the view from the iconic ending scene at Dead Horse State Park.  

For those who haven't seen the movie, you won't be disappointed.  Hike along the rim trails for amazing views of the canyon and peekabo glimpses of the Colorado River.
