I know this picture has been seen before, but it is by far the best. (in fact, it might be too go, insofar as it misleads us into thinking this is the best of the parks. In general this park seems a little bit duller, mostly because the pictures lack the bright red (this photo is the one exception) that many other parks have. On the upside, this park seems to have more sweeping vistas than the others. This might make it a better place to take pictures and drive, but perhaps not as good to hike. In the far southern reaches of Utah, the Colorado and Green Rivers carve the high desert into a labyrinth of red-rock canyons that are sheer ecstasy for the hiker, mountain biker, and whitewater adventurer. The park is broken into three distinct districts — Island in the Sky , The Needles and The Maze . The vast landscape offers hundred-mile vistas of rust-colored pinnacles, high mesas, sculpted buttes, sandstone spires, and sheer crimson cliffs. This park is even further into Utah, and is close to Arches NP.
