Our National Parks
Canyonlands National Park, The Needles District
34 miles from Glamping Canyonlands
This district of this National Park is why moved to Utah. Needless to say, it holds a very special place in our hearts. We first visited during a backpacking trip on our Honeymoon many years ago. It’s amazing to us we have been able to build our business and home so close to the very place that inspired us to sell our home in Las Vegas and move here!
The Needles district is named for the Cedar Mesa sandstone spires that jut up from the landscape. Located in the southwest section of Canyonlands National Park, this district is well-known for its natural formations, extensive interconnecting trail system, and more than 50 miles of rugged roads.
You will find some of the areas best hiking trails and 4×4 trails through here. This district of Canyonlands (there are 3) is not very well traveled. It is not a “drive through” park so it does get less visitors per year than it’s more known district, Island in the Sky (Moab).
You don’t want to miss this National Park. Find solitude, few to no crowds, unique scenery and less traveled by visiting The Needles.
Arches National Park
45 miles from Glamping Canyonlands
Arches National Park is located in Moab, Utah. It is one of the busier National Parks, and for good reason. It is home to the highest concentration of natural arches in the world, also boasting some of the most impressive ones. There is very limited vehicle access and parking; coupled with an average of over 1.5 million visitors per year, there’s no wonder there is now a timed entry system. If you plan on visiting this park, it is highly recommended you make reservations ahead of time; visit the NPS website for more details.
