Découverte du Parc national de Canyonlands, Utah
Inauguré en 1964, le parc national de Canyonlands, situé dans l'Utah, est une destination emblématique pour les amoureux de la nature et des activités de hike. Fondé par des passionnés de la préservation de l’environnement, il s’étend sur une vaste région où la nature sauvage a été sculptée par deux rivières puissantes, créant un paysage coloré de canyons, mesas et buttes. Ce parc national est divisé en quatre districts distincts : Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze et les rivières elles-mêmes, chacun offrant une expérience unique pour les visiteurs en quête d’aventure et de découverte. La richesse géologique et la diversité des paysages en font un lieu incontournable pour explorer la nature dans toute sa splendeur.
Le parc Canyonlands se distingue par ses points forts, notamment ses nombreux sentiers de randonnée qui permettent d’accéder à des formations rocheuses spectaculaires, comme le célèbre Mesa Arch ou les formations de The Needles. Les amateurs de nature et d’activités outdoor apprécieront également la possibilité de faire du hike dans un environnement préservé, loin de toute urbanisation. La région est également réputée pour ses ciels étoilés, classés parmi les plus sombres du pays, offrant des nuits magiques propices à l’observation des étoiles et des planètes, notamment Saturne. Bien que le décor soit sauvage et authentique, l’ambiance du parc reste paisible, avec une atmosphère de tranquillité et de respect de la nature, idéale pour une immersion totale dans un environnement naturel exceptionnel.

"Established in 1964 Rugged wilderness carved out by two mighty rivers Remote national parks like Canyonlands offer some of the darkest skies in the country. Away from urban light pollution, you can see up to 30 times the number of stars you would see in a city setting. The pristine night skies at Canyonlands are so superb that the park was designated a Gold-Tier International Dark Sky Park in 2015 When conditions are right, you may even be able to sight the rings of Saturn through your binoculars."

"Arches' nearby neighbor, Canyonlands, is broken up into four “districts” by the massive canyons of the Green and Colorado Rivers, but a lack of development really only provides a couple of roads in and out of the park boundaries. The Island of the Sky area is closest to the town of Moab, so it’s usually the first stop for visitors and a great place to get acclimated to the area. Along the main road, there are a handful of easy-to-moderate scenic trails to otherworldly needle formations and several scenic overlooks. At early hours, dozens of photographers wait patiently for sunlight to peek through the Mesa Arch, one of the park’s most iconic landmarks. The Needles region of the park, which is quite a trek from Island of the Sky, is where avid adventurers seek out over 100 backcountry trails. Trails to incredible slot canyons, stunning red-rock formations, and ancient petroglyphs draw backcountry visitors to this area every year. Where Canyonlands starts to lose some brownie points, is in amenities and accommodations. There is no lodging or dining in the park and only two campgrounds with a total of 31 campsites available. Although Canyonlands has a lot of love for backcountry campers, the average sightseer might have to travel the 30+ minutes to Moab to find a place to stay. Despite lack of lodging, Canyonlands gets over 700,000 visitors each year. Crowding is more evident in colder months, like April and May, and along easily accessible trails and at popular scenic overlooks, like Grand View Point."

"Whittled into existence over many millennia by the fast moving Colorado River, the spindly sandstone spires, vast canyons, and table-like mountains of Canyonlands National Park make for a dynamic backdrop for viewing the night sky. “Of the ‘Mighty 5’ National Parks in Utah, I am partial to Canyonlands National Park,” Wilson said. “While they are all magnificent, Canyonlands is also one of the quietest places in the country, allowing you to truly experience a dark and quiet night.” Island in the Sky, a massive, flat-topped mesa with panoramic views, is a particularly popular spot to catch the nighttime show. Wooden Shoe Arch Overlook and Big Spring Canyon Overlook are also stellar spots. How to visit Red Rock Astronomy offers tours of the area, wherein the guide shows guests “planets, galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, and other breathtaking celestial sights with his high powered telescopes.

"Canyonlands preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The rivers divide the park 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 and offers different opportunities for exploration. http://www.nps.gov/cany/"

"The Needles Division of Canyonlands National Park is south of Moab and feels much more remote than the Island in the Sky section. The drive into this section of the park is incredibly scenic and part of the attraction of this area. The Needles is not known for the grand overlooks like you find at the Island in the Sky Section, but the landscape here is outstanding, with some great hiking and serious 4WD roads to explore. The majority of the hikes here are minimum half-day or full-day hikes, with few options for people looking for short nature walks. One of the main highlights for general sightseeing or a short hike is Pothole Point, a moonscape setting with potholes in the rocks that fill with water after rains. Even if there is no water in the potholes this is still a spectacular area. A short hike takes you out into the potholes, and there are picnic shelters in the vicinity. Nearby is the Slickrock Foot Trail, which is slightly more demanding but still an easy and scenic path with extensive views. One of the best 4WD roads is the Colorado River Overlook, which leaves from the Needles Visitor Center and is very demanding. Check with staff to see about conditions of the road before venturing out, and be aware that you may not make it all the way to the Overlook. Elephant Hill is reached by a dirt road and is another of the park's highlights. Camping is available in the park on a first-come first-served basis at Squaw Flat, which has 26 campsites. On the paved road leading into The Needles is Newspaper Rock, with a densely packed area of petroglyphs on the face of a rock wall. There is a pullout area, and it is definitely worth stopping to see."
