Mountain bikers and four-wheel drivers must stay on designated roads and camp in designated sites.
Backpackers in heavily traveled areas, primarily at The Needles, stay in designated campsites. Most backpackers at Island in the Sky or The Maze stay in at-large zones and may choose their own campsites.
Where are the sites and zones?
Each district of the park has its own map of roads and trails which shows campsites and zones.
Permits required for overnight trips. See website.
A permit is good for up to 14 consecutive nights.
Small parking lot at the end of the road. This is the jumping off point for trails such as slick rock trail. This part is totally accessible by car though and you can walk out and take good pics. Not much else to do.
Big Spring Canyon Overlook is located at the end of the Needles Park Road - in the Needles, Canyonlands, Moab, Utah. You can see unique Rock spires and different colored sandstone formations. There is a spring that keeps the plants and trees nourished. The focal point is the mushroom like formations.
This overlook/trailhead is at the very end of the scenic drive in the Needles section of Canyonlands. This view is extraordinary, with each new angle offering something new to see. You’re allowed to climb on the rocks (not something allowed at all National Parks) to get a better view of the surroundings, or to simply have fun. My wife and I really enjoyed the view and had a great time taking pictures and hiking the area.
