Canyonlands Vistas
Canyonlands National Park offers wide expanses to explore. The central mesa, referred to as the Island in the Sky, lives up to its name with breathtaking views of the levels below. This panorama is at Grand View Point, and shows a portion of the White Rim 1200 ft. (365 m) below.
The areas below this mesa offer a myriad of canyons, nooks and crannies to explore, such as this alcove just below the mesa top.

Canyonlands is always beautiful! Looks like you were shooting slightly above White Rim. Did you hike up or down? I went with a bunch of friends in April ’08 and biked around the rim for a few days. A blast! Luckily we had support vehicles because several of us got flat tires! The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular there!

Hi Shirley,
I hiked down to this point (panorama #2), but not very far, about 45 minutes. The White Rim Trail is indeed a great trip!

I love these videos. Since I probably will never have the opportunity to visit, these videos make it the next best thing. Thank you.

Thanks Peggy! Through others’ panoramas, I too have been able to “visit” places I may never get to.

Martin, love the pics. What a cool, unique way to share such an incredible place. My mom sent me the link and the second it came up on my screen I was transported back to this beautiful place.

Love all your stuff but could you do one of an airport?

That’s one I haven’t considered. I’ll think about it! Martin
