 An image of a glacial waterfall under the Lamplugh Glacier within the park's Glacier Bay. There are no roads that lead to Glacier Bay, which requires visitors to board a ship or hop in a kayak to experience the stunning blue glaciers up close and personal. |

 Canyonlands National Park is located in southeastern Utah and, as the name implies, contains beautifully colorful canyons, running along the tributaries Colorado River and the Green River. The rivers divide the park into four sections, the one shown here is known as the Needles formation. |
