Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands is not one canyon but a dissected plateau shaped by the Green and Colorado rivers, ancestral Indigenous occupation, ranching, uranium roads and modern recreation. Its districts reveal different rock systems and different human routes, from ancient pictographs to White Rim mining tracks.
