Grand View Point Road / (Mailing address) 2282 Resource Blvd. Moab, UT Canyonlands National Park / Moab, UT , 84532-0000 Phone: (435) 259-4712 Website Canyonlands National Park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into numerous canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character.
