This area is full of tall, very close together, sandstone spires. And the area called, the Maze is for those who can stay awhile and do some serious hiking and backpacking. The Horseshoe Canyon area is stunning. Carved into the sandstone walls is huge drawings that are now artwork. Canyonlands National Park Lodging Choices The city of Moab is a great place to stay.
