We started our visit of Canyonlands National Park at the Island in the Sky Visitor Center. It was very busy when we arrived. We were able to fill up our water jugs there. The Visitor Center provided us with information and maps to plan our visit in the Island in the Sky section of the park. There were some displays exhibits and a gift shop as well. Right across the street there is an awesome viewpoint of a canyon with the La Sal mountains in the background.

Amazing National Park. We did the windshield tour (drove to the parking lot areas and walked to the overlooks) and we were all blown away. We were there on February 5th so the weather was in the sixties and the crowds were thin. An incredible park and we were there when we had a clear view of the La Sal mountains which provided a great backdrop to the east

Very basic center. We almost scrapped the little hike that you have to cross the street in order to see the viewpoint, but we did it as we were leaving and we're not disappointed. Walking a little bit past to the ledge was a highlight with pictures that were much better than at the visitor center end, Plus you were able to see all the way down to the off-road trail below. Pretty neat.

Wowzers of a place! Go and see the amazing landscapes, and I hear there is so much to see and explore. We missed out on a lot, so make sure you make this an all-day trip! Enjoy yourselves!

Nice visitor center. Had a 20 minute video to watch about how the canyons were formed. Nice gift shop too. There are picnic areas and trails to see the canyons. Some are very close so you don't have to walk much. Some are longer.
