Is it worth visiting both Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park?
Yes! Arches and Canyonlands National Parks provide completely different experiences. Arches National Park contains the world’s largest concentration of natural stone openings. The park provides visitors with an up-close experience of an unearthly, yet hauntingly beautiful, red rock landscape. In contrast, the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park is located atop a 1000 foot mesa with viewpoints that encompass thousands of square miles of ruggedly spectacular canyon country. Because of the varicolored landscape of southeastern Utah many people feel that the views from the Island in the Sky actually surpass those seen at the Grand Canyon!
