The Canyonlands near Moab in Utah (USA) became a National Park in 1964. The park is 1349 square kilometers in size. The park is still a very pristine area of canyons and table mountains carved by the Colorado River, Green River and their tributaries in the Colorado Plateau. It offers impressive views of the course of the Colorado River. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. Despite the limited vegetation, wildlife such as coyotes and the bighorn sheep live in the Canyonlands. Due to the large difference in summer and winter temperatures, it is not an interesting area for human exploitation. These climatic variations are related to its location: the park lies 1200 to 2400 meters above sea level and receives very little rainfall. The nickname for the park is therefore 'high desert'. Worth seeing are, among others, The Needles, Maze and Island in the Sky.
