USA｜Canyonlands National Park Photo Share 1
🚗 Canyonlands National Park is located at the confluence of the Green River and the Colorado River in southeastern Utah, formed by years of river erosion and frost and snow erosion of sandstone towers, canyons, etc., becoming one of the most famous erosion areas in the world, known for its dangerous peaks and strange rocks. It was officially established as a park on September 12, 1964, covering an area of 1366 square kilometers. There are no roads here, only trails that can be traveled by off-road vehicles, considered one of the most difficult areas to enter.
⛰️ Unexpectedly, Canyonlands looks more spectacular than the Grand Canyon, with a very rich sense of hierarchy, which also made me doubt that what I saw on the plane was not the Grand Canyon but Canyonlands. The Colorado River and the Green River converge here, and years of rainwater and wind erosion have created such a unique landscape. The entire park is built on a peninsula, and after coming here, I know why it is called the City of the Sky Island in the Sky.
🚗Travel experience
1. Canyonlands is a relatively large national park, with many trails inside that are quite long, which can be chosen according to personal physical strength.
2. There are two routes that can be crossed by four-wheel drive, but they are time-consuming. My friend has walked one, be sure to reserve enough time.
3. The trail of the viewing point is not difficult, and it is not long, be sure to pay attention to safety, because a carelessness is a deep abyss.
4. There are two entrances and exits to the park. Due to time constraints, we only went to the City of the Sky on this side. The other side has to go around a long way, and those with more time can consider going to both.
5. The weather changes quickly, and the wind is strong on it, pay attention to safety when taking pictures.

The power of nature is mysterious and unfathomable.
Canyonlands National Park was formed 10 million years ago,
Formed by the impact/sedimentation of floods.
There are many famous scenic spots, such as Mesa Arch, one of the Win7 desktop backgrounds.
A few young people were leaning over to look at the scenery below at that time.
Really love it, feels so natural.

Canyonlands
End of the journey here. After high altitude of hiking around 3.6 miles, this is something that we won't forget.
It was hard when we didn't prepare much, or having no exercise beforehand.
Our lung and feets may not be able to take the strenous exercise we had during the hike here. But surely, we got through by helping one another to carry load for the snacks and drink.
Plenty of energy bars, jerky, and something that can boost our energy really helps. In addition is the ion water (for sports) and mineral water. Bringing kids also can be a challenge but somehow they are more energetic than us.
