Island in the Sky, Canyonlands National Park
Set high on vertical sandstone cliffs, Island in the Sky commands spectacular views of spires, fins and canyons, independent of the direction you look. Yet the vistas aren’t the only attraction at this Canyonlands district. Erosion and weathering, responsible for the monoliths you see, will one day transform this mesa top into an inaccessible butte. The family-oriented, ranger-led programs are about things kids like: biological soil crust and potholes as well as drawing and pantomime. Miles of trails both short and long make Island in the Sky a great place to explore on foot. The nearly 20 miles of paved scenic drive ensure this section of Canyonlands National Park easy to navigate. But be sure there are no guardrails here.
