A perfect shot from our friends at @ncpnnps ! ・・・ Perfect weather, amazing views and fall colors. @Canyonlandsnps is not a bad place to spend a day measuring trees and counting seedlings! #parkscience #canyonlands #canyon #trees #fall #outside #fieldwork #utah #nps #npsnature #nature #botany #forestry #science #sky
The sun sets on September. How many more suns will set before your next visit to Canyonlands? (gw) #canyonlands #canyonlandsnps #canyonlandsnationalpark #nationalparkservice #nps
Not a conch shell on a craggy, volcanic beach in Hawaii, but a little snail left behind as an ephemeral pool dried up. (gw) #canyonlandsnp #canyonlandsnationalpark #canyonlandsnps #nps
Periodic rains temporarily fill desert potholes that spring to life with fairy shrimp, tad-pole shrimp, snails, and larva. If you are lucky enough to stumble upon one, we encourage you to lie down on your stomach and gaze into the water. You never know what you might find!

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” –John Lubbock (gw) [photo courtesy of DCMorgan] #canyonlandsnp #canyonlandsnps #canyonlandsnationalpark #nps #worldphotoday
Members of the Utah Conservation Corp helped with the installation of connectivity modifiers (or Con-Mods); a low-tech hack for grassland restoration. Several large test plots are being installed in the Needles district of Canyonlands with hopes of wide-spread deployment in the next couple of years.

Ever consider leaving the city behind and becoming a cowboy? Consider this: living outside in all weather, cooking over a campfire, few other people to talk too, long hours on horseback surveying and mending miles of fence. At one time, Canyonlands played host to a number of cowboys. This photo, circa 1938, shows a makeshift line camp in the Needles District.

“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.” Good advice for a rainy day from Langston Hughes. (gw) [Photo courtesy of DCMorgan] #canyonlands #canyonlandsnp #canyonlandsnationalpark #canyonlandsnps #nps #nationalparks
