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.
