Canyonlands National Park, Utah

Images of Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah taken in April 2008.

Canyonlands was formed by the convergence of the Colorado and Green Rivers and includes striking views of the primitive areas carved by the two rivers. One of the most unique features would be the 1,500 foot deep Upheaval Dome, a jagged crater with a sandstone/salt dome in the center.
