The Needles - Canyonlands National Park

by Paul Jones

The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park is named for the sandstone spires that tower over the rugged landscape. Many of the pillars reach over 200 feet above the surrounding desert floor. The narrow canyons also conceal hidden arches, hoodoos, Native American ruins, and petroglyphs.
