Canoeing The Green River - Canyonlands Natl. Park - Into Stillwater Canyon
SEPTEMBER 24th - 29th, 2011. A 5 night, 6 day, 53 mile adventure down The Green River in Southeastern Utah. Most of the video you see here is the Stillwater Canyon stretch of the Green River or what most people call The Lower Half. Most of this section is part of the Canyonlands National Park and requires a permit due to the high amount of traffic and canoeing adventureurs. The entire stretch from the town of Green River to The Confluence is 120 miles and is sutible for a canoe as there are no rapids to swamp you out. This makes for a very calm and enjoyable canoe trip!
The upper half (from Ruby Ranch to Mineral Bottom) can be viewed here:

Ep. 95: Green River Kayak Camping | Utah kayaking Canyonlands National Park
A voyage down the final 100 miles of the Green River by kayak, canoe or raft, through the Labyrinth Canyon and Stillwater Canyon into Utah's Canyonlands National Park, is an epic bucket list camping trip. It's also the only way to see this part of Canyonlands. We spend eight days on the river, encountering other river travelers from four other states and two other countries along the way. We find remnants of ancient people dating from 200 to 1,200 years old, including the Outlaw Cabin and Anasazi cliff dwellings. We descend through numerous layers of the earth’s crust, passing through two seasons. Throughout it all, though, the river is our constant, yet moody companion; at times our lover and best friend, and at other times our worst enemy, the river is alive -- a living, breathing creature that dominates our lives for days on end.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Separate river permits are required from the BLM for Labyrinth Canyon, and from Canyonlands National Park for Stillwater Canyon. The Labyrinth Canyon permit requires little more than filling out a form and carrying the required gear, while the permit for Stillwater Canyon requires a bit more arduous and bureaucratic process and while there’s no lottery involved, permits are limited by the number of people who can be shuttled by outfitters from The Confluence or Spanish Bottom. Ruby Ranch’s owners also charge a fee for those who choose to launch their boats there, although there are alternative put-ins at Crystal Geyser and in the town of Green River.
Applications and more information may be found at:
* BLM Labyrinth Canyon
* Canyonlands National Park river permits
Two outfitters are permitted to provide shuttle services from Spanish Bottom to Moab and also provide guided expeditions:
* Tag-A-Long Expeditions
* Tex’s Riverways

Most Beautiful Place / Canyonlands National Park, Southeastern Utah
Canyonlands National Park is a U.S. National Park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. It preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964.
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere.
Recreation
Canyonlands is a popular recreational destination. Since 2007, more than 400,000 people have visited the park each year with a record of 776,218 visitors in 2016, representing a 22 percent increase from the prior year. The geography of the park is well suited to a number of different recreational uses. Hikers, mountain bikers, backpackers, and four-wheelers all enjoy traveling the rugged, remote trails within the Park. The White Rim Road traverses the White Rim Sandstone level of the park between the rivers and the Island in the Sky. Since 2015, day-use permits must be obtained before travelling on the White Rim Road due to the increasing popularity of driving and bicycling along it. The park service's intent is to provide a better wilderness experience for all visitors while minimizing impacts on the natural surroundings.
The Island in the Sky mesa from the Needles district
As of 2016, the Island in the Sky district, with its proximity to the Moab, Utah area, attracts 76.7 percent of total park visitors. The Needles district is the second most visited, drawing 20.7 percent of visitors. The remote Maze district accounts for only about 1.5 percent of visitors, while river rafters and other river users account for the remaining 1.1 percent of total park visitation.
Political compromise at the time of the park's creation limited the protected area to an arbitrary portion of the Canyonlands basin. Conservationists hope to complete the park by bringing the boundaries up to the high sandstone rims that form the natural border of the Canyonlands landscape.
Geography
The Colorado River and Green River combine within the park dividing it into three districts called the Island in the Sky, the Needles and the Maze. The Colorado River flows through Cataract Canyon below its confluence with the Green River.
The Island in the Sky district is a broad and level mesa to the north of the park between Colorado and Green river with many overlooks from the White Rim, a sandstone bench 1,200 feet (366 m) below the Island, and the rivers, which are another 1,000 feet (305 m) below the White Rim.
Chesler Park in the Needles
The Needles district is located east of the Colorado River and is named after the red and white banded rock pinnacles which dominate it, but various other forms of naturally sculptured rock such as canyons, grabens, potholes, and a number of arches similar to the ones of the nearby Arches National Park can be found as well. Unlike Arches National Park, where many arches are accessible by short to moderate hikes or even by car, most of the arches in the Needles district lie in back country canyons and require long hikes or four-wheel-drive trips to reach them.
The area was once home of the Ancestral Puebloans, of which many traces can be found. Although the items and tools they used have been largely taken away by looters, some of their stone and mud dwellings are well-preserved. The Ancestral Puebloans also left traces in the form of petroglyphs, most notably on the so-called Newspaper Rock near the Visitor Center at the entrance of this district.
The Chocolate Drops buttes above the Maze
The Maze district is located west of the Colorado and Green rivers, and is the least accessible section of the park, and one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of the United States.
A geographically detached section of the park located west-northwest of the main unit, Horseshoe Canyon Unit, contains panels of rock art made by hunter-gatherers from the Late Archaic Period (2000-1000 BC) pre-dating the Ancestral Puebloans. Originally called Barrier Canyon, Horseshoe's artifacts, dwellings, pictographs, and murals are some of the oldest in America. It is believed that the images depicting horses date from after 1540 AD, after the Spanish re-introduced horses to America.

Canyonlands National Park , Utah
Eccoci arrivati a Canyolands un altro dei bellissimi parchi dello Utah
Canyonlands National Park, è un enorme parco nel quale è possibile ammirare infiniti canyon e mesa erosi dai fiumi Colorado e Green River durante i secoli.
Il parco è suddiviso in quattro distretti: Island in the Sky, Needles, Maze e il distretto dei fiumi.
Noi abbiamo potuto visitare soltanto Island in the Sky, l’area settentrionale di Canyonlands, formata da mesa di arenaria che si innalzano fino a quasi 400 metri: da alcune di esse è possibile godere di una vista mozzafiato sulle altre zone del parco.
Le strade asfaltate si diramano per una quarantina di miglia e portano agilmente nei pressi di imperdibili point of view.
Nonostante, nella mattinata, abbiamo visto parecchi archi di arenaria ad Arches, il Mesa Arch, che invece si trova nelle Canyonlands, è senz’altro uno degli archi naturali più straordinari che esista.
Mesa Arch si trova proprio sul ciglio della mesa, perfetta cornice per il tramonto.

Green River Overlook @ Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands National Park: The Most Terrifying Drive of my Life! (Ep. 19)
Dec. 18, 2016: I made it! I'm here at Canyonlands National Park just outside Moab, Utah and the best part is that there's no hazardous weather to shut down the park!
I started the morning with sunrise photography at Dead Horse Point State Park before heading to Canyonlands. From there I visited Mesa Arch, Green River Overlook, Upheaval Dome, Grand View Point Overlook, & Buck Canyon Overlook. Those were all trumped by my drive down the Shafer Trail to Musselman Arch!
It's an unpaved road taking you down into the canyon below! 4x4 and nerves of steel are the only requirements - it's not for the faint of heart!
Tomorrow, we go to Arches National Park!
