This area of Canyonlands is extremely remote. I saw few people there on the day I spent in the Needles District. Unless you want to do lots of hiking, backpacking or have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, you won't see much here by sticking to the main road. I don't think I even saw any of the tall spires or “needles” that this district is known for, except for those in the distance. I walked several of the short nature trails then found a spot at the nearby BLM campground. That afternoon I watched the blowing sand and read a bit more. It was another lazy, relaxing day for me!
The “famous” needles can be seen on the distant horizon.
Mushroom Cap formations.
I was startled by the intensity of these blue flowers.
And I'm always amazed by the flowers growing in the trail.
I was also fascinated with their paper-thin, wavy texture.
