Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Canyonlands National Park, United States

The mighty Colorado River is the artist at work in this sculptural landscape of canyons, buttes and inked tributaries that snake through Utah’s red-rock wilderness. To call Canyonlands National Park a backdrop for its outdoor adventures – horseback riding, mountain biking or whitewater rafting – would be a disservice to its starring scenery. Lookouts such as Grand View Point and Mesa Arch are themselves the classic namechecks. And stargazing under Utah’s big skies is memorably cinematic, too.
