I hike to Druid Arch the afternoon after a snowstorm, which makes for a wet but beautiful outing.
Starts from our camp site.
Spent the day hiking with my family in this incredible rock wonderland. Part of the track was lost, but there's enough to get the picture.
Grand View Point is probably the most popular in the Island In the Sky region of Canyonlands National Park. It's a bit crowded but the view is wonderful along the trail.
We hike a big loop in the canyons that flow around Upheaval Dome.
Simple trail out to see Mesa Arch and back.
White Rim Overlook is one of the best trails in Canyonlands National Park. The trail is less crowded with great views of the white rims plus wonderful rocks along the trail.
Mesa Arch is a popular trail in Canyonlands National Park. The trail is short and easy. The arch was nice but very crowded.
The best way to get to know the Canyonlands is to leave the road behind. This loop is "popular" according to the ranger, but we didn't see one other hiker on trail all day. Stunning views the entire way, and serious terrain.
Upheaval Dome Lookout in Canyonlands National Park. It was a liitle bit late to hike this trail since most of the dome was under the shadow.

Chilly winds prompt us to try this shorter hike, which is packed full of plenty of goodies for the length.

Squaw Flat Trailhead to CP2 campsite. We started off somewhat early 8am) for this hike. Our backpacks were pretty heavy since we were carrying the necessary water for 2.5 days in the canyonlands. There is no reliable water source in the area so for 2.5 days we each carried 2 gallons of water. That's 16 pounds of just water.Our packs weighted roughly 40 lbs with all of our food, tent, sleeping bags,...
Canyonlands National ParkNeedles DistrictSummary: This is such a
marvelously scenic trail, you can go any distance and return. We suggest two
interesting return points: one from Peekaboo Saddle which is really just the
high point before dropping down into Lost Canyon, and the second from the first
peekaboo window. Hikers who go on to the Peekaboo camp are usually spending a
night.Trail Description: The signage on
the trail is clear and easy to follow although there are sections...
Another great loop after a night of snow! We realize these canyons are all so different, the hikes will never get repetitive.
