The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park offers some of the best backpacking in southern Utah. I have found many hidden gems throughout this area that have left me awe struck.
The Maze District of Canyonlands is guarded by rough and long four wheel drive roads. But the remoteness and beauty make it worth every bit of the effort.
Mountains aren't worth dying for, but they are worth risking dying for. Make no mistake, my alpine goal is to die in bed, old, laughing and smiling...before I undertake that final, inevitable expedition. I hope I find mountains there, too. - Gregory Crouch
