These gnarled trees and the remains of their weathered stumps reflect the weathered canyons beyond them.

The Canyon formed by the Green River

On along the road a ways, we come to a different canyon. This one was formed by the Green River flowing into the Colorado.

Canyonlands National Park

Just down the road a few miles from Dead Horse Point is the Island in the Sky portion of the Canyonland National Park. This park is unusual in that the four sections of the park are not connected to one another. You have to leave the park to get to any of the other parts.
