Imagine a mesa, 2000 feet above the Colorado and Green Rivers, linked to ”mainland” by one narrow 40ft span of earth. Every direction you look reveals deep canyons with sheer wall drop-offs. That is the Island in the sky country of Canyonlands National Park.
It is amazing how these two rivers have carved a nearly unearthly terrain that is foreboding and enticing both at the same time. Just beautiful.
