Canyonlands National ParkPodcasts for kids

Mysteries and adventure abound in Canyonlands National Park, a remote and desolate wilderness carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers. Explore Upheaval Dome and decide for yourself. Is it the jagged remains of a prehistoric meteor crater? Or is it a complex, eroded salt structure pushed up from below? Beyond the rim, you can explore the rugged territory of The Maze, the striped sandstone spires of the Needles District, and the towering rocks of Island in the Sky. Step back into history and join John Wesley Powell on his intense 1869 expedition, the last great exploration of the American West, as he braves the white water and names nearly everything. Look closer at the desert’s micro-worlds to inspect the resilient Pothole Shrimp, ancient survivors that emerge from unlikely places after a rainfall. Finally, attempt to decode the mysterious, prehistoric petroglyphs left behind on the Gallery Wall.
