Climbing a ladder on a desert hiking trail in Canyonlands National Park
The confluence of the Colorado River and Green River is located in the northern part of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park in Utah. This recording was taken along one of the trails in that area. Trails that cross a number of desert plains and small slick rock canyons that are adorned with strange looking Mushrooms, Spires and Needles that are unique to Canyonlands National Park.
Canyonlands National Park is located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. It's a colorful, fantastical landscape that's been eroded by the Colorado and Green Rivers into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes.
Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964.
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character.
Author Edward Abbey (Cactus Ed, whom I met privately with a few years before his passing...) was a frequent visitor who described Canyonlands as ...the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere.
