Canyonlands Permitted Gems

Accessing the remote corners of Canyonlands National Park requires careful planning and a backcountry permit. This list features designated campsites along the 100-mile White Rim Road in the Island in the Sky district and the isolated Maze district. These sites provide basecamps for exploring sandstone fins, deep canyons, and the Green and Colorado Rivers. Facilities are minimal, typically consisting of a single vault toilet, requiring visitors to carry all water and pack out all solid human waste.
