NOTE: You may have to get up earlier than normal for this adventure. Also, Flying a balloon is dependent on great weather conditions. Schedule this one early on your trip to Moab in the event that it needs to be postponed due to weather. This is probably the most enjoyable morning that I can remember. Sunrise in the desert, watching the balloon setup, climbing aboard the basket and viewing Arches, Dead Horse, and Canyonlands from the tranquility of a hot air balloon. You will not be disappointed in this experience. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Canyonlands National Park

Reviewed By KendianaJones

We visited the Island in the Sky sector, and saw four sights: - Upheaval Dome Trail - Green River Overlook - Grand View Point Trail (2 miles RT) - Hiked to Mesa Arch (½ mile RT) Of the four, Upheaval Dome was the least interesting. Geology buffs will appreciate the sight. The Green River Overlook is a great view for just a short walk from the parking lot - well worth the stop. Grand View Point Trail is 2 miles round trip, and while it is relatively flat, there are constant small ups and downs. It was not a difficult hike, and we enjoyed it. It ends on a peninsula several hundred feet above the canyon floor. We saw Mesa Arch last, and it was my favorite. I took a few pictures, then when a group of rude tourists moved out of the way (illegally climbing the arch), I walked up to it and peeked through. The view took my breath away. I quickly took some photos, drank in the view, then cleared out so that other photographers could do the same. The hike is a half mile loop, mostly in soft sand. If you can handle that, don't miss Mesa Arch!

A fairly easy trail along the Colorado River that's easy to find and easy to follow. Great views of the river and geological sights.

We visited in October when the trees were turning yellow. It was a bit cold but we hiked the short canyon. It was worth it.
