If you have the time, be sure to take the marvelous hike at Elephant Hill. You have to drive three miles on an unsaved one lane road to the trailhead, but it is definitely worth it. The hike takes you across a one approach to the red needles canyon. From there you can spend hours walking thru slot canyons and marveling at the unbelievable rock formations. You feel you are truly transported to another planet. Try to go early in the day so you have time to meander around to see everything. Bring LOTS of water!

This is a very scenic drive going into this park. The canyons that you drive thru are so beautiful! And about halfway in, there's a stop off with petroglyphs. A family of Badgers crossed the road as we started the drive in. We did hike a few of the smaller trails, and saw an old cowboy camp. We also went off road, and the scenery is so Awesome. The campground is also very nice.

It is hard to describe the incredible rock formations. At times it's like being surrounded by giant rock mushrooms. It is a great park to hike in as it is more remote and less covered with access roads. It also creates another challenge of trying to limit one's picture taking. This one is impossible as every turn presents new vistas that just beg to be recorded.

A simple drive past the needles is really all that you need to get a good look at these pillars. Simply stunning!

I am sharing my experience on driving out of Needles along Hwy 211 and towards US190 after dusk. The mule deer are rampant and I came close to hitting deer no less than 6 times on the drive. They basically just stand in the middle of the road with little awareness of oncoming traffic. Please be very careful and drive a safe speed so that you can stop in time. The drive in the day is fine, watch out for range cattle though.The Needles were awesome, highly recommended.

Needles district of the Canyonlands is a bit of a drive from Moab (about 2 hours), but we enjoyed it because there were no crowds at all and it feels remote and that's what we wanted to experience. We did a nice little hike - The cave spring trail (1km round trip) and we were the only people on this hike! We loved it! Otherwise we just drove the scenic drive in the Needles and stopped at view points. We spent about 2 -3 hours here. I would recommend you visit the Needles district if you want to get away from crowds.

The Needles section of the Park is great for hikers, mostly. We arrived here toward the end of an over-stuffed day of travel, and only managed to do the Slickrock trail, where we had hopes of spotting some elusive Big Horn Sheep in the hour before dusk on a still-hot July evening. That wish went unfulfilled. There are scenic overlooks along the park road for non-hikers; but the payoff may not be enough to justify the somewhat long trek in from the main highway.

It was not as crowded as Islands in the Sky section of Canyonland NP. But it was worthwhile to visit the Needles. Mind you that some of the hikes could not be reached with a trailer/RV due to road conditions.

We went on 2 hikes while here. 1: Big Spring Canyon to Squaw Canyon. The hike in the bottom of the canyon was nice but nothing overly exciting. Going up and over the big rocks to get to the next canyon was super cool! It was worth it to go up the rock, see the magnificent views, then back down. So beautiful!2. Slickrock trail. Nice fairly easy hike along the rock and overlooking some canyons. Beautiful views. It was about a 3 mile hike so something nice to do when you want something more sedate.

Did this section first and it was a surprise package, as we thought we would be in and out in no time. The sights were amazing and kept getting better. Take water and enjoy nature in one of the most beautiful spots around. The drive in is fairly long which is probably why the other end, Island in the Sky is the most popular. However having done both this is my favourite. But everyone will have their own idea depending on what they want.
