When is the best time to visit Canyonlands National Park?

I want to go on a road trip through the American West, and Canyonlands National Park is one of my for-sure stops. I can plan the trip any time that I want to go. What’s the best time to visit Canyonlands National Park?

Less than 30 minutes from Arches National Park, Canyonlands is the largest national park in
Utah
. Realistically, you could visit both on the same day or consecutive days, which may play into your road trip plans. The best time to visit Canyonlands National Park is in fall when the weather cools enough to make outdoor activities more bearable.
Some of the top activities to do in Canyonlands National Park on your visit are:
  • Soak in one of the seven overlooks and viewpoints at the famous Island in the Sky.
  • If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, use its capabilities to explore the Maze District
  • Watch the sunrise at Mesa Arch.
  • Go canoeing or kayaking on either the Colorado River or the Green River. You can also go whitewater rafting if you venture a little way out of the park.
If you’re traveling throughout the American West, you’ll find long stretches of remote wilderness. As such, you may want to consider
towing and labor coverage
. To get the best rate on this optional coverage, explore options by using the
