One of the coolest places I've ever been.

Is fall the best time to visit?

This is an awesome photo! I've always wanted to go there

Most people overlook Needles but it’s outright the best section, like I couldn’t say enough about it.

Plus canyonlands has 3 different sections.

I love the Superstition Mountains. I have never seen another mountain that changes the way it looks as the sun moves across it. So beautiful and mysterious with the lore to go with it.

Mines the Mystery Flesh Pit

Got engaged there! Favorite place

Bankers love that place too.

Canyonlands was my favorite of Utah's Mighty 5. The trip there was amazing.

It’s the head of the Grand Canyon.

Eyebolt canyon

Trump was 100 percent trying to open this up to drill

Most people do it clockwise but it doesn't matter.

When we went it was only one-way I think? Maybe it was two-way on the one side. Granted it was also more than 10 years ago.

You don't have to do the whole thing. If you come in the Colorado side its mostly a good dirt road so it's an easy out and back.

Amazing shot. One of my favorite places to get lost on the trails. The mythos surrounding the Superstitions makes it all the more immersive to wander those peaks. You certainly captured some of that superstitious mystique with this shot.

We camped on the White Rim Road several years ago and it was a great experience. It does take a semi-capable 4x4/dirt bike/mtb.

But camping on the edge of the badlands is an experience not to be missed. I’m from the PNW. When we talk about “quiet” when we camp, there’s still the rustle of breeze in the trees, running water from creeks and rivers, and animals. It’s by no means truly quiet.

Out there, camping on the White Rim is truly very quiet. Ridiculously so. Almost oppressively quiet when you’re so used to camping in the PNW.

Truly an incredible experience.

I wouldn’t go without camping, it would be a long slog all day to make it in one go and you’d barely see anything.

Did the White Rim Road on my motorcycle a few years ago. The scenery is amazing.

One of the reasons I love Canyonlands so much is the ever present feeling you have of the raw, untameable power of this environment. Even just standing beside a road and looking from a view point you feel the place. The incredible beauty is always paired with a sense of how unforgiving this place is. It is crazy how extreme and rapid high desert fluctuations can be. It can be 120+ in the day and within a 2 hour period drop to 40 at night.

My favorite place!! Cumberland Island is just as beautiful and less remote!

Awesome picture!

You mind sharing where you were? I'm looking for some good winter camping / backpacking spots around here.

Thanks!
