The 34-mile Island in the Sky scenic drive offers the perfect introduction to this often-overlooked national park.
What makes this district special is how it balances accessibility with raw wilderness.
You can experience jaw-dropping vistas like Schaefer Canyon Overlook, where a dirt road zigzags impossibly down steep cliffs, and Mesa Arch, which frames distant mountains in what becomes a photographer's dream at sunrise. The mysterious Upheaval Dome presents a geological puzzle scientists still debate, while the Grand Viewpoint delivers a finale worthy of its name.
