Plan Around Overnight Backpacking
A good stop is not just something to read about. Once it belongs on the day, move into a saved trip and build the route around it.
Use this detail page to confirm that the stop is worth it, then carry that decision into a trip draft while the park context is still fresh.
Overnight Backpacking Details
Canyonlands is an epic yet challenging place to backpack. There is plenty of room to spread out and roam in the secluded and beautiful canyons and mesas of Utah's largest national park. Water is the deal-breaker for many - there is no consistently-reliable drinking water so all backpackers need to carry their own. Despite unreliable water, Canyonlands has become increasingly popular as a backpackers destination. Permits are required for overnight use and frequently the demand for permits exceeds availability. Plan well in advance and reserve permits [here](http://www.nps.gov/cany/planyourvisit/backcountrypermits.htm) as early as possible.
