                                              Canyonlands National Park

     Canyonlands National Park is a famous tourist attraction in Utah where visitors can see

arches (拱门) and other beautiful rock formations.

     Canyonlands National Park is a wild,lonely area of rocks,rivers and desert plants.Only

Native Americans,cowboys,and explorers entered this area before the park was set up in

1964.Even today,it is difficult to walk or ride through the park.The roads are still made of

dirt.Driving requires a special vehicle.The National Park Service says Canyon－lands

National Park is wild America.

     Rivers created the area as they cut rocks into many different formations.At the center

of the park are two deep canyons carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers.Three areas

that surround these rivers are included in the park.

     One of these areas is called the Maze District.This area includes rock art made by people

who lived there more than 2,000 years ago.Yet many people today cannot see the Maze

District because it is so difficult to reach.The area is one of the loneliest and wildest areas in

the United States.

     Another area of the park is called the Needles.It includes long,thin,red and white rocks

that reach high into the air like fingers on a hand.

     A good way to see all the areas of Canyonlands National Park is to fly over it.A one

hour trip in a small airplane makes it possible to see the park's red rocks,arches and flat

areas where ancient Indian people once lived.

     From high in the air,visitors can clearly see the third area of the park-a high broad flat

rock known as the Island in the Sky.The island was formed between the two rivers.

Another interesting formation is called the Upheaval Dome.This is a huge hole about four

hundred and fifty meters deep and one point five kilometers wide.It is considered to be the

most unusual geological (地质的) structure in the area.
