The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park is a remote but amazing place for hiking and photography. Located in the lower southeast corner of Canyonlands, the landscape features many colorful spires of Cedar Mesa Sandstone.
Lush spring time vegetation pops with color on an overcast day in Indian Creek Canyon, which leads to the Needles area.
The hiking trails are marked by rock cairns and cut through an amazing terrain of sandstone shapes and colors.
Much of the desert floor is covered in a very delicate biocrust.
