Abstract (Limit: 200 words) This document is the final report of cultural resource inventory, limited testing, and collections research in the Island-in-the- Sky District, Canyonlands National Park, Utah. The area has a high site density that appears to be related to the presence of a major access route and the abundance of natural chert sources. Most sites are short-term camps or limited-activity loci associated with the use of the local toolstone sources.

Bring this paper to the visitor center desk for travel tips. Chesler Park NPS PHOTO / EMILY OGDEN Welcome Canyonlands National Park preserves 337,598 acres of colorful canyons, mesas, buttes, fins, arches, and Horseshoe Green River Island spires in the heart of southeast Utah’s high desert. Water and gravity have been the prime architects of this Canyon in the land, sculpting layers of rock into the rugged landscape we see today. Sky Colorado River Canyonlands preserves that natural beauty and human history throughout its four districts, which are divided by the Green and Colorado rivers. Island in the Sky is closest to Moab and is the most visited district. The Needles is a farther drive, and is great for a day trip or backcountry hiking and backpacking. The Maze is the most remote and rugged district, requiring a four-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicle, and The Maze more time. The Maze’s Horseshoe Canyon unit contains intriguing rock markings from tribal cultures. The Rivers separate the other three districts and offer world-class boating opportunities. The Needles Cataract While the districts share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character and offers different Canyon opportunities for exploration and adventure. Though they appear close on a map, there are no roads in the park that directly link the districts. Traveling between them requires two to six hours by car. Check inside this visitor guide for the best way to plan your visit to Canyonlands.
