Thank you to each and every volunteer in Canyonlands– your work is greatly appreciated! In 2023, more than 100 people volunteered over 16,000 hours throughout the park districts! #NationalParkWeek #NPSVolunteer
Attention park lovers! Do you know tomorrow, 4/20 is a fee-free day? Kick off National Park Week by enjoying all Canyonlands has to offer!
When hiking in the park, you may notice stacked rocks along the trail. These are called cairns. Rangers build cairns to help mark where to go on the trails. It is important to leave rocks where you find them and avoid knocking over existing cairns over to protect our living soil!
✨It's International Dark Sky Week! ✨ Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our night skies. Canyonlands stands as a beacon of preservation, safeguarding over 337,598 acres of desert landscape and the celestial wonders above. ⭐🎉 #DarkSkyWeek 📷 NPS/ Rhodes Smartt
Deadline extended! You still have time to share your thoughts about Canyonlands' future management of the Green and Colorado rivers. Public comments—now accepted through March 31—will help shape the upcoming draft plan. parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?d…

No bones about it, these long lines can be killer! ☠️ Wait times to enter the park can be over an hour during busier seasons. Planning to arrive early in the morning or later in the evening is the best way to avoid crowds. Not very HUMERUS, but we hope these tips will help!
Today is #SpringEquinox, or the first day of spring! 🌺 Here in Canyonlands, cactus blooms herald in the springtime. When we start to see these vibrant magenta and yellow blooms pop up, we know spring has sprung! What's your sign that spring is here?
Bighorn sheep, birds of prey, and bears... oh my! 🐻🦅🐏 Seasonal wildlife closures are in effect! For more info and a full list of closures, visit: nps.gov/cany/planyourv… #RecreateResponsibly #Wildlife
It’s that time of year! Cows have returned to the park boundary for grazing! 🐮 Be careful when driving into the park, you may drive up to find a group of cows standing in the road!
Do you enjoy stargazing and exploring the night sky?🔭 What if we told you that you could do all those things June 7-9th at the 3rd Annual Southeast Utah AstroFest! Follow the link for details! ow.ly/l8OP50QKt3z
DOI announces $195 Million for America’s National Parks through Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) investments. Canyonlands receives funds to assess climate change impacts on rivers and restore areas with native plants to park ecosystems. Learn more: nps.gov/orgs/1207/inte…
🚣♀️ Attention river-lovers: Canyonlands is launching (get it?) an effort to create a new comprehensive river management plan for the Green and Colorado rivers, and we're asking for initial public input. Learn more and leave your thoughts: nps.gov/cany/learn/new…
It’s #NISAW, National Invasive Species Awareness Week! 🌾 🥾 ✨ In Arches and Canyonlands, our first step in invasive species management is preventing them from being introduced by practicing #PlayCleanGo: playcleango.org
🎉Big news! We have a new superintendent, Lena Pace! “I am honored to be selected to lead this iconic group of parks and am so grateful for the diverse career I've had across the National Park Service that has led me to this point,” says Pace. Learn more: nps.gov/cany/learn/new…
💕 Will you be our Canyon-tine? This Valentine’s Day we’re reflecting on what we love most about our park. Mesa Arch at sunrise, the unique spires of Chesler Park, and the winding canyons in the Maze district make the top of our list. What do you love most about Canyonlands?
Nature's canvas at Canyonlands: a breathtaking landscape of fiery red canyons, kissed by the sunset, against the snow-capped La Sal Mountains. The La Sals, formed by igneous intrusions, are unique in a sea of sedimentary rock. 🔥🏔️ More geology: nps.gov/cany/learn/nat…
POV: Your bestie suggests a trip to Canyonlands this summer...and you have all the sweet tips for an epic trip. We’re proud of you, boo 😘👏🏾 Plan your next trip to Canyonlands like a park ranger: go.nps.gov/CanyTopTips #PlanForVacationDay #PlanLikeAParkRanger #CanyTopTips
🥾🧀 National Cheese Lovers Day + Take a Walk Outdoors Day = A gouda day to take a walk outside! Canyonlands has great spots to take a walk & enjoy snacks! You can find covered picnic areas at the White (cheddar) Rim Overlook & Upheaval Dome (of cheese) parking areas.
⛄ Recent winter storms have brought enough snow for Ranger Frosty to make an appearance! Visiting Canyonlands this winter? Make sure to plan accordingly and check conditions before you arrive: nps.gov/cany/planyourv…

Springs, seeps, and hanging gardens are vital to the biodiversity of Canyonlands. Cave primrose are only found in these hanging gardens. To learn more about ongoing research in Canyonlands and throughout the Colorado Plateau visit go.nps.gov/1q26ib
Have you ever tracked the seasons through wildlife? At Canyonlands, lizards scurrying about is a clear indication of spring. Each species becomes active at different times depending on their energy requirements. The warmer it becomes, more lizard species will be darting around.
National parks are full of surprises and Canyonlands is no exception. Amidst all this sandstone and high desert vegetation, we have a subtlety hidden grove of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). What surprises do your national park memories have? #resilience #climatestories
In celebrations of #NationalVolunteerWeek and the 50th Anniversary of the NPS Volunteers-In-Parks Program, we want to thank all the amazing volunteers who give so much to Canyonlands and all the national parks across the country. Thank you for your service and dedication!

@CanyonlandsNPS Hibiscus is always worth a closer look in Miami, if you can find them. They were plentiful until iguanas invaded and ate them all.

It's #InternationalMountainDay! Capitol Reef's intriguing neighbor, the Henry Mountains were one of the last ranges to be mapped in the lower 48 states. Composed of igneous intrusions, pushing through weak points in sedimentary rocks, these mountains are called laccoliths.

Rain is expected this week in Canyonlands! The first winter rains will transform the desert ecosystems and reveal new life. But rainstorms can also bring dangerous flash floods. Be mindful of the weather forecast and plan your trip accordingly.
“Where can I see bighorn sheep?" Canyonlands has several small bands of bighorn sheep, but like the ewe and lamb in this photo they can be well camouflaged and hard to spot. They can also be shy so give them plenty of space if you see them. #nationalparkwildlife
Due to a scheduled power outage, Canyonlands' online backcountry reservation system will be out of service from Friday, November 1 to Sunday, November 3. You will not be able to make reservations during this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. go.nps.gov/18vrjd
Can a sunset so tranquil also be spooky? Intrepid travelers should keep an eye out for the infamous black widow spider, or rankled rattlesnakes. Shadows cast from waning moonbeams are all the inspiration an active imagination needs to fill a cold Utah night with ghostly tales.
