Canyonlands National Park is an immense and amazimg place. Covering over 527 square miles (1,366 km2) of south eastern Utah, Canyonlands houses the confluence of two mighty rivers, the Colorado and Greenand their respective tributaries. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. The system of snaking canyons cut by these two rivers cover most of the park. The views on this page were all taken from Island in the Sky. The Island in the Sky district is a broad and level mesa between Colorado and Green rivers. One can drive to many places and view the canyons from viewpoints on the Island. The viewpoints all overlook the White Rim, a sandstone bench 1,200 feet (366 m) below the Island, and the rivers, which are another 1,000 feet (305 m) below the White Rim.
