My Brother Gary and I explore The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. Thanks to Revzilla for sponsoring this Series.

Canyonlands National Park is carved into three districts: Island in the Sky, The Maze, and the Needles. It is over three hundred thousand acres which means it could swallow the city of Chicago. The Maze District is the most difficult, and desolate part of the park to visit, requiring a high-clearance vehicle and is more like a multiday expedition. Island in the Sky is the most visited district of the park and the most friendly for a drive by visit. But we chose to explore the Needles District, tucked away 70 miles south of Moab. The Needles' key features is a network of hiking and backpacking trails.

We set up basecamp at the Needles Outpost and spent two days exploring the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. We highly recommend staying at Needles Outpost, it was a wonderful experience and the perfect basecamp to explore the park with access to showers and running water. We booked our first night through Hipcamp and extended on site. Here’s $10 Hipcamp credit.

There’s quite the drive to the nearest town, so make sure you stock up on groceries, and anything you need before you head to the park.
