Canyonlands National Park
Family Vacation

Canyonlands National Park is an often overlooked playground in Southern Utah.  However, its proximity to Arches National Park make it an easy stop on your next desert family vacation.  We recently took our family there and found some great hikes and activities for kids that we share in our guidebook to this region.  There are incredible views which are accessible from easy hikes, ruins from ancient Puebloan people and solitude you won't find in many other more popular parks.  Take a look at our gallery of photos and consider adding Canyonlands NP to your next desert southwest family vacation.

More information about the guidebook can be found by clicking on the book cover photo to the right.
