"Island in the Sky - Canyonlands N.P." Top 5 Page for this destination Moab Things to Do Tip by blueskyjohn

Moab Things to Do: 121 reviews and 272 photos

This is a nice day trip from Moab. One of three section in Canyonlands National Park. The entry fee is $10 and the access road is an in and out drive. It has a small visitor center at the beginning. It is a wonderful drive with deep canyons to the right and left. Quite a few short day hikes that take you to the rim for great views. The highlight is at the end of the road and a trail out to the island in the sky.

There more difficult hikes to the canyon floor and the white rim trail. It would be a steep downhill and of course a steep up hill to get back out.

Definitely worth the drive!

Directions: North on 191 from Moab. Turn left on 313 and take to the end.
