Thanks for watching this two-minute tour of the best-kept secrets of Canyonlands National Park, Utah! Antiquities and relics of the past can be found all over Canyonlands National Park. It is a federal offense to deface, take, or ruin any of these precious windows into the past. As always, it’s important to visit these places with respect and leave it better than you found it. Dogs are not welcome in Canyonlands or Arches National Park. Given the harsh weather of the desert, leave your dog at home. Drones are not allowed in any national or state park in the area. Leave your drones at home. Rule number 1 when visiting the desert is DON’T BUST THE CRUST! That weird, raised, bumpy soil you see is alive. It’s called cryptobiotic soil and it is an integral part of preventing erosion and allowing for plant life to thrive in the desert. It is fragile and stepping on it will ruin years of development. ✨ Follow me… Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Aforestfox/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@megintheforest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/megintheforest/ ✨ Additional Resources ✨ The Mega Guide to Visiting Canyonlands National Park: https://bit.ly/bestofcanyonlands Purchase Your Annual Parks Pass and enter Canyonlands NP at no charge (affiliate link): https://bit.ly/nationalparkspass2024 The complete guide to visiting Moab, Utah: https://bit.ly/moabguide Backcountry permit info for Canyonlands National Park: https://www.nps.gov/cany/planyourvisit/backcountrypermits.htm Hot Tip: Book all permits and timed entry well in advance - right when you are able to.

And you should be inspired by BOTH. I intentionally use photos and videos that have been edited for color and lighting, and ones that haven’t. All the photos and videos you see were taken by me. #canyonlands #moabutah #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #moabutah ✨ Time stamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:10 - Different districts of Canyonlands National Park 00:15 - Things to do in Island of the Sky Canyonlands 00:44 - Secret spots in Island in the Sky 00:51 - Best backcountry adventures in Canyonlands National Park 00:55 - White Rim Road tips and tricks 01:05 - Things to do in the Needles District Canyonlands 01:20 - Elephant Hill 01:29 - Backpacking in the Needles District of Canyonlands 01:45 - Best camping in The Maze Canyonlands 02:10 - Best time to visit Canyonlands 02:20 - Rules and regulations in Canyonlands National Park 02:37 - outro
