Taylor Canyon

The Canyonland's Island in the Sky District lays an expansive landscape of many plateaus and cliffs that reach more than 1000 feet above the Colorado and Green Rivers that border on three sides. Within the area is Taylor Canyon, a relatively short, 5-mile four-wheel-drive trail with enormous cliffs towering over you every step of the way. The sheer size of the cliffs and plateaus can make you feel insignificant in comparison. Making you feel even smaller, is your grand prize at the end, two buttes named Zeus and Moses standing there talking with one another through eternity. Taylor Canyon is a great trail for a stand-alone outing or added in the iconic White Rim for a truly epic adventure.
