Canyonlands National Park
After seeing Arches National Park and visiting its stunning collection of rock arches, you’ll spend the second day of your American West road trip in the Moab area exploring the other national parks in the immediate area.
Canyonlands National Park lies a mere 30 minutes South of Arches National Park. So jumping back and forth between them is effortless if you’d like. Canyonlands will be right up your alley if you enjoy canyons and jaw-droppingly stunning vistas.
Several viewpoints give you a fantastic view of this unbelievable park, the most notable of which is the Mesa Arch viewpoint.
But to truly get a good feel for this park, you’ll need to do a bit of hiking in its backcountry. So ensure you get to the park early and bring your hiking shoes. We recommend buying these from Amazon!
