The incomparable Needles District forms the southeast corner of
Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Named for its colorful spires of
Cedar Mesa sandstone, one might liken many of the districts
temple-like formations to that of the Taj Mahal. A maintained
network of trails braid through astonishing vistas, offering those
the opportunity for long day hikes as well as overnighters. Only a
few hours west of Durango, its time to get outside and take
advantage of the wonderfully comfortable temperatures and wide open
skies.
