Canyonlands - recreation - tour

  Utah's largest and most visited national park. In the center of the park, the Green River flows into the Colorado River, forming winding "Y" shaped canyons that, together with Horseshoe Canyon, form what is called "Canyonland. The northern, most accessible parts of the park are called "Island in the Sky" and are 20-kilometer offshoots that diverge in different directions. At the tip of one of the branches is a place called the Inverted Dome. This is a crater formed about 60 million years ago by a meteorite impact. Mesa Arch Rock, at the eastern end of "Island in the Sky," offers views of valleys, fanciful cliffs, and the Colorado River.
  The Grand Viewpoint, which offers the best panorama of Canyonlands National Park, is only 15 kilometers from the southern tip of the park, but because of the difficult terrain you have to drive three hours and travel about 200 kilometers. Along the way you will see prehistoric landscapes and a cluster of rock pillars, on top of which huge boulders are somehow held up. Then Horseshoe Canyon is home to the prehistoric cave paintings of Utah's original tribes, who lived here before the Spanish and English colonists arrived. The largest number of life-size drawings of people and animals can be found in what's known as the Great Gallery. Historical research has confirmed that the drawings appeared here about 4,000 years ago.
