Canyonlands National Park has 4 Districts, all requiring a longer drive to get to the hiking trailheads.    The closest area to Moab, Utah is Island in the Sky.   Right at the Visitor’s Center area a trail strikes off from The Neck (a narrow ridge in the isthmus that is the “Island”).   It winds across ridges and through gullies in a loop, providing excellent high desert views.
