Canyonlands National Park - Island in the Sky - Oct. 3, 2015

View of canyon from Island in the Sky
The Island in the Sky Mesa District of Canyonlands National Park rests on sheer sandstone cliffs that tower 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain.  The Green & Colorado Rivers carved the canyons that we see today.

The 34-mile roundtrip scenic drive allowed us to tour the entire mesa.  At the end

we hiked the 2 mile Grand View Point Trail that provided a stunning 'out & back' walk that showcased spectacular panoramic views as it followed the canyons edge.
