CANYONLANDS NATIONAL
PARK, UTAH
THE NEEDLES |
 |
| The Needles
District forms the southeast corner of Canyonlands and was named for the colorful spires
of Cedar Mesa Sandstone that dominate the area. To reach this part of the park, take US
Highway 191, drive 40 miles (60 km) south of Moab or 14 miles (22 km) north of Monticello,
then take Utah Highway 211 roughly 35 miles (56 km) west. On this road I suggest a stop at Newspaper Rock State historical Monument (10 miles).
Highway 211 ends in the Needles, and is the only paved road leading in and out of the
area. A ten mile paved scenic drive gives visitors a wonderful taste of
what The Needles was named after, beautiful sandstone spires that jut out the ground
creating an unforgettable spectacle. The scenic drive can be done in an hour or two. Most of the features of interest - arches, river overlooks, rock formations - can only be
reached by long trails. |
