Title

Canyonlands Needles District Hiking

Description

The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park features several moderate family trails through brilliant red and white spires of Cedar Mesa sandstone. The Joint Trail passes through a narrow crevice wide enough for adults to squeeze through. The dramatic geology and vivid colors make it one of Utah's most distinctive landscapes.
