Silence and solitude is what awaits you in Canyonlands National Park. The snowy peaks of the La Sal Mountains come down and transforms into a desert landscape full of vast canyons, mesas and buttes. This wilderness is rugged and primal. The land appears unchanged to what I imagine it was like hundreds of years ago. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the serenity and silence of Mother Nature. The surrounding landscape makes a person feel small. Canyonlands is what I would now consider, a hidden gem of the United States.
There are several natural features on this planet that often beg the question - how? Mountains that touch the heavens, canyons that have no end to their depths, sand dunes located in areas with zero explanation, or waterfalls so mystical there's no way they can be real. All these, and yet, the strangest to me are the rock arches that have formed in the deserts of southern Utah.
Most of you that follow me on social media know that my wife and recently traveled to southern Utah visiting a few of the national parks there. These next few weeks I will cover our trip, park by park, and share our experiences there. In addition to that, I want to be able to offer up what to expect if you decide to make the journey to Utah. I would highly recommend it.
