Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Kayaking on the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Morning light illuminates the pinnacles of The Doll House on the rim above Spanish Bottom. After meandering quietly for 60 miles below the town of Moab, the Colorado begins its rapid-filled descent through Cataract Canyon just around the bend from here. The Needles District of Canyonlands Park borders the river to the east while the Maze district occupies the rim to the west.
