Ruin Park Road

Ruin Park Road is a great connector trail if you plan on making a multi-day overlanding trip in or out of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. This easy trail offers several good campsites and no real challenges. The road is mostly comprised of packed dirt with sections of large rock slabs and pockets of sand. The scenery along this trail is stunning, with great views of the Henry Mountains and into the Maze District, another amazing offroad destination in Canyonlands. If the name didn't give it away, rumor has it there are Anasazi Ruins along the way, which true explorers and adventurers will have a fun time trying to find them all. As with any native history, take only photos and leave only tracks.
