Although Canyonlands contains 527 square miles of rocky wilderness it has only 32 miles of paved roads. The paved roads can provide a brief introduction to the wonders of the park, but if you
really want to see this fascinating area you must be willing to leave the asphalt behind. The fun begins in the backcountry, where a large network of jeep roads and hiking trails await your
arrival. It is the purpose of this book to acquaint you with these access routes into the park’s interior and to tell you about the points of interest you can expect to see along the way. 240
color and b&w photographs and 59 detailed maps have been included to help you choose the adventure that is right for you.
