Canyonlands National Park, National Park in southeastern Utah, United States.

Canyonlands is a national park in southeastern Utah where the Colorado and Green rivers meet, dividing the land into four districts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the rivers themselves. Island in the Sky is a broad mesa between the two rivers, with the White Rim sandstone bench 370 m below and the rivers another 300 m lower. The Needles takes its name from red-and-white banded rock pinnacles. The Maze, west of the rivers, is the most remote district.

The area became a national park in 1964 to protect its rock formations and archaeological sites. Before that, ranchers and miners used the land occasionally, while native people had lived in the canyons for thousands of years.

Ancestral Puebloans lived in this area and left stone-and-mud dwellings that are well preserved, though most of their tools and objects were removed by looters. Petroglyphs also survive; the best known are at Newspaper Rock, near the visitor center at the Needles entrance.

The four districts have separate entrances and no connecting roads inside the park, so plan your route in advance. Island in the Sky is reached via US 191 from Moab; The Maze only from the west via State Routes 24 or 95 and then unpaved roads. Day-use permits are required for the White Rim Road, and the number issued per day is strictly limited.

The park holds certification as an International Dark Sky Park, and on clear nights thousands of stars and the Milky Way are visible to the naked eye. The remoteness and low air pollution create one of the darkest night skies in the United States.
