If you want rugged terrain and rocky adventuring, Canyonlands is for you. I knew very little about this park before our visit!

There’s no water in the park (except at the visitor center) and very few facilities, so bring salty snacks and more water than you think you need. A lot of the park is void of roads suitable for normal cars. There’s a lot of difficult and long trails as well as backcountry camping. BUT, there are plenty of shorter trails and viewpoints to make this well worth a visit. We visited in June as part of our Fourth Grade Pass tour.
