Description
Canyonlands National Park is a U.S. National Park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab and preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Two large river canyons are carved into the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River and Green River. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as "the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth�there is nothing else like it anywhere.

Gorgeous detail and color! Love the purple in the background. The sky looks amazing as it settles on the plateaus with its own palate of colors.
Robert Bales replied:
Thanks Lisa for the great review about the color and the lighting. It got very wet in a short time after I took the photo.
