  • Canyonlands National Park
    Feb 5 2026

    Canyonlands National Park is one of the most rugged and awe-inspiring landscapes in the American Southwest and in this episode of Two Chicks With Hiking Sticks, we’re breaking down everything you need to know before you go.


    Located near Moab, Utah, Canyonlands is carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers into massive mesas, deep canyons, and towering sandstone formations. We explore the park’s fascinating history, explain how the park is divided into four distinct districts, and help you prioritize which areas to visit, especially if it’s your first time.


    This episode focuses on the best hiking experiences in Canyonlands, including iconic trails like Mesa Arch, Grand View Point. We also talk about scenic overlooks, sunrise and sunset spots, rafting the rivers, and why Canyonlands offers a quieter, more remote experience compared to other Utah national parks.


    Whether you’re planning your first trip, building a Utah national parks itinerary, or just love learning about America’s wild places, this episode will help you decide where to go, what to hike, and why Canyonlands belongs on your bucket list.
