Moab, Utah is the hub for travelers looking to adventure into Arches or Canyonlands National Parks. Nestled at the southern border of Arches National Park, this tiny tourist town is surrounded by gorgeous sandstone formations that act as an introduction to the grandeur to come from forays into the national parks. Today just so happens to be Jenni and my third year wedding anniversary - and my wife wants to spend it exploring the cute local shops of Moab.

Scenic photographic & video journey: Chaco Canyon, Monument Valley, Slot Canyons, & Horseshoe Bend
Landscape photography and time-lapse photo essay combined into a spiritual journey through the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. Beginning in Alamosa and the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, then Chaco Canyon in New Mexico to see the Pueblo Bonito settlements built by the Anasazi Indians. We then filmed moonrise and sunset over the Mittens Mesas in Monument Valley, Arizona. Next the famed Slot Canyons in Antelope Canyon, Arizona where the dry creek beds were carved from the sandstone by flash floods. Sunbeams illuminate the red sandstone as Amazing Grace, played by the Native American Flute player Charles Littleleaf, accompanies. Eleven people were washed to their deaths in this canyon by a flash flood. We filmed the sunset over Horseshoe bend and the Colorado River using super wide angle lenses, then captured sunrise at Mesa Arch near Moab in Utah. Timelapse, HDR photography and super wide angle effects were combined into a ProShow presentation that portrays the spirit of the Southwest region of the United States.
Climbing up a steep sandstone chute in Canyonlands National Park, Utah
This recording was made in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park in Utah. I believe this particular segment was somewhere along the Big Spring to Squaw Canyon loop trails.
Anyway, 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.

A Day at the Canyons
Yesterday I drove 4 1/2 hours southish from Salt Lake City to Canyonlands National Park & Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. I wish I had a little more time as I wanted to visit Arches National Park as well. Either way though I saw a lot of great sites. I tried to take some pictures which you see in this video but really I don't think any images or video can really do this place justice. It was larger then life amazing.
Here's a little history thanks to wikipedia:
Canyonlands National Park is a U.S. National Park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab and preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. 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. Two large river canyons are carved into the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River and Green River. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere.
The Colorado River and Green River combine within the park, dividing it into three distinct districts. Below the confluence, the Colorado River flows through Cataract Canyon.
False Kiva stone circle
The Island in the Sky district is a broad and level mesa to the north of the park between Colorado and Green river with many overlooks from the White Rim, a sandstone bench 1,200 feet (366 m) below the Island, and the rivers, which are another 1,000 feet (305 m) below the White Rim.
The Needles district is located east of the Colorado River and is named after the red and white banded rock pinnacles which dominate it, but various other forms of naturally sculptured rock such as canyons, grabens, potholes, and a number of arches similar to the ones of the nearby Arches National Park can be found as well. Unlike Arches National Park, where many arches are accessible by short to moderate hikes or even by car, most of the arches in the Needles district lie in back country canyons and require long hikes or four-wheel-drive trips to reach them.
The area was once home of the Ancestral Puebloans, of which many traces can be found. Although the items and tools they used have been largely taken away by looters, some of their stone and mud dwellings are well-preserved. The Ancestral Puebloans also left traces in the form of petroglyphs, most notably on the so-called Newspaper Rock near the Visitor Center at the entrance of this district.
The White Rim Sandstone
The Maze district is located west of the Colorado and Green rivers is the least accessible section of the park, and one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of the United States.
A geographically detached section of the park located west-northwest of the main unit, Horseshoe Canyon Unit, contains panels of rock art made by hunter-gatherers from the Late Archaic Period (2000-1000 BC) pre-dating the Ancestral Puebloans. Originally called Barrier Canyon, Horseshoe's artifacts, dwellings, pictographs, and murals are some of the oldest in America. It is believed that the images depicting horses date from after 1540 AD, after the Spanish re-introduced horses to America.
A subsiding basin and nearby uplifting mountain range (the Uncompahgre) existed in the area in Pennsylvanian time. Seawater trapped in the subsiding basin created thick evaporite deposits by Mid Pennsylvanian. This, along with eroded material from the nearby mountain range, become the Paradox Formation, itself a part of the Hermosa Group. Paradox salt beds started to flow later in the Pennsylvanian and probably continued to move until the end of the Jurassic.[15] Some scientists believe Upheaval Dome was created from Paradox salt bed movement, creating a salt dome, but more modern studies show that the meteorite theory is more likely to be correct.

Arches National Park is a national park in eastern Utah, United States. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 miles (6 km) north of Moab, Utah. More than 2,000 natural sandstone arches are located in the park, including the well-known Delicate Arch, as well as a variety of unique geological resources and formations. The park contains the highest density of natural arches in the world.[3][4]
The park consists of 76,679 acres (119.811 sq mi; 31,031 ha; 310.31 km2) of high desert located on the Colorado Plateau.[5] The highest elevation in the park is 5,653 feet (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte, and the lowest elevation is 4,085 feet (1,245 m) at the visitor center. The park receives an average of less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain annually.
Administered by the National Park Service, the area was originally named a national monument on April 12, 1929, and was redesignated as a national park on November 12, 1971.[6] The park is expected to receive 1.8 million visitors in 2018.[7]

Buckhorn Draw Pictograph Panel / Rock Art / Petroglyph / San Rafael Swell In South-Central Utah.
Buckhorn Draw Pictograph Panel / Rock Art / Petroglyph / San Rafael Swell In South-Central Utah.

The Buckhorn Draw Pictograph Panel is an example of rock art, located in Buckhorn Draw in the San Rafael Swell in central Utah, approximately four miles north of the San Rafael campground and bridge.
Primarily a Barrier Canyon Style panel, there are a few later petroglyphs of Fremont culture origin as well. In many cases the Fremont painted figures on top of the older Barrier Canyon ones.
The route up Buckhorn Draw was part of the Old Spanish Trail. As a result of the relatively large number of people passing by, the panel was repeatedly vandalized and marked with graffiti over the years. In 1996 the State of Utah and Emery County restored the panel as part of the state's centennial celebration.
Evidence of Native American cultures, including the Fremont, Paiute, and Ute, is common throughout the San Rafael Swell in the form of pictograph and petroglyph panels. An example is the Buckhorn Draw Pictograph Panel, with rock art left by the Barrier Canyon Culture and the Fremont Culture. From about 1776 to the mid-1850s the Old Spanish Trail trade route passed through (or just north of) the Swell. In the past 150 years, areas of the Swell have been used for the grazing of sheep and cattle, as well as for uranium mining. Many of the gravel roads in the interior of the swell were originally used to service the uranium mining activities. Although surrounded by the communities of Price, Green River, Hanksville, Ferron, Castle Dale, and Huntington, the Swell itself does not support permanent residents.
The Swell has been used by Hollywood filmmakers as a location setting for alien planets, including the Planet Vulcan in the 2009 film Star Trek and the alien world in Galaxy Quest.

The beauty, truth and freedom of canyons and rivers pulse through Serena Supplee. Thirty-five years of living and loving the Colorado Plateau serve as the current of inspiration for her artwork. She paints with watercolors and oils, working from her drawings rather than photos to give her imagination more reign. Serena’s new book Grand Canyon Calling features her pencil sketches adjacent to her paintings.
Serena Supplee graduated with a BFA from Northern Arizona University, before moving to Moab, Utah. For a decade she worked as a guide on the Colorado, Green, and San Juan Rivers, and she continues to row her boat & follow her heart down rivers that inspire her drawing and painting. Her passionate palette captures the expansion of rims, the movement of rivers, the dance of clouds, the splendor of starlight, and the lighting on canyon walls which have long captivated the minds and souls of many a romantic Westerner.
Serena’s artwork may be most recognized from the more than 100 images she has published as notecards since 1983 and wall calendars since 2008. In addition, she has a wonderful new selection of 14x18 affordable prints as well as large giclées on her website. To add an original watercolor, oil or sculpture to your collection, contact Serena. Her sandstone-inspired sculptures are on display both in her yard and in the City of Moab.
A collection of her geometric landscape paintings woven into rugs and baskets by Navajo weavers are on display at Twin Rocks Trading Post in Bluff, Utah.
You can contact Serena Supplee about her art directly via her website at

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.

DriveAbout 48 - Canyonlands National Park, Utah
vista mozzafiato!
canyonland national park, Utah, Stati Uniti.
Canyonlands National Park is located in the American state of Utah, near city of Moab and preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The rivers divide the park 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.[1] The park covers 527.5 mi² (1,366 km²). Canyons are carved into the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River and Green River.
A subsiding basin and nearby uplifting mountain range (the Uncompahgre) existed in the area in Pennsylvanian time. Seawater trapped in the subsiding basin created thick evaporite deposits by Mid Pennsylvanian. This, along with eroded material from the nearby mountain range, become the Paradox Formation, itself a part of the Hermosa Group. Paradox salt beds started to flow later in the Pennsylvanian and probably continued to move until the end of the Jurassic.[8] Some scientists believe Upheaval Dome was created from Paradox salt bed movement, creating a salt dome, but more modern studies show that the meteorite theory is more likely to be correct.
A warm shallow sea again flooded the region near the end of the Pennsylvanian. Fossil-rich limestones, sandstones, and shales of the gray-colored Honaker Trail Formation resulted. A period of erosion then ensued, creating a break in the geologic record called an unconformity. Early in the Permian an advancing sea laid down the Halgaito Shale. Coastal lowlands later returned to the area, forming the Elephant Canyon Formation.
Large alluvial fans filled the basin where it met the Uncompahgre Mountains, creating the Cutler red beds of iron-rich arkose sandstone. Underwater sand bars and sand dunes on the coast inter-fingered with the red beds and later became the white-colored cliff-forming Cedar Mesa Sandstone. Brightly-colored oxidized muds were then deposited, forming the Organ Rock Shale. Coastal sand dunes and marine sand bars once again became dominate, creating the White Rim Sandstone.
A second unconformity was created after the Permian sea retreated. Flood plains on an expansive lowland covered the eroded surface and mud built up in tidal flats, creating the Moenkopi Formation. Erosion returned, forming a third unconformity. The Chinle Formation was then laid down on top of this eroded surface.
Increasingly dry climates dominated the Triassic. Therefore, sand in the form of sand dunes invaded and became the Wingate Sandstone. For a time climatic conditions became wetter and streams cut channels through the sand dunes, forming the Kayenta Formation. Arid conditions returned to the region with a vengeance; A large desert spread over much of western North America and later became the Navajo Sandstone. A fourth unconformity was created by a period of erosion.
Mud flats returned, forming the Carmel Formation and the Entrada Sandstone was laid down next. A long period of erosion stripped away most of the San Rafael Group in the area along with any formations that may have been laid down in the Cretaceous period.
The Laramide orogeny started to uplift the Rocky Mountains 70 million years ago and with it the Canyonlands region. Erosion intensified and when the Colorado River Canyon reached the salt beds of the Paradox Formation the overlying strata extended toward the river canyon, forming features such as The Grabens. Increased precipitation during the ice ages of the Pleistocene quickened the rate of canyon excavation along with other erosion. Similar types of erosion are ongoing, but occur at a slower rate.
