Founded in: 1964
Size of the Park: 330,000 acres
Topography: deep canyons and sheer-walled mesas divided by the Colorado and Green rivers. The park is structured into three distinct districts—Island in the Sky, The Needles, and The Maze. We visited Island in the Sky.
Number of Annual Visitors: 800,000
Popular Hikes: Mesa Arch and Grand View Point
Breuer Fun Facts: We spent less than 4 hours in total in this park. It was a 40 minute drive off of the main road and after making the trek out there Monday afternoon, we had no desire to do it again. It also seemed like this park would be better experienced in the canyon (four-wheeling and kayaking) rather than exploring from the top.
