Arches and Canyonlands sit right next to each other near Moab, but they're genuinely different parks, geologically speaking — Arches' roughly 2,000 documented formations trace back to a thick underground layer of salt that began flowing upward into long domes some 300 million years ago, while Canyonlands' Island in the Sky district, the district this tour's second day is built around, is a broad, roughly 2,000-foot-high mesa that the Colorado and Green Rivers carved out over a much longer stretch of time, isolating it from the park's two other districts, The Needles and The Maze. Covering both parks across two unhurried days, rather than compressing them into one long one, is really the only way to see what each is actually known for rather than just drive past it.
Day one's stops trace the same real process that built nearly all of the park's formations: as the rising salt domes cracked the sandstone layers above them into long parallel fins — not unlike the surface of baking bread splitting open — rain, frost, and seeping groundwater spent millions of years slowly turning those fins into arches. Balanced Rock, one of the day's stops, is a roughly 3,600-ton boulder of Entrada sandstone (about the size of three school buses) perched 128 feet up on a far softer, faster-eroding mudstone pedestal that will eventually give way beneath it. Double Arch, nearby, is the park's tallest arch at 112 feet and formed unusually from above rather than from the side — rainwater pooled and ground straight through solid rock instead of eroding a fin's open face. The Delicate Arch viewpoint, meanwhile, takes in the park's best-known formation — a freestanding, 52-foot arch whose roughly 46-by-32-foot opening is large enough to fit a four-story building — from a respectful distance, rather than the longer round-trip hike out to its base.
Day two shifts to a completely different kind of geology. Mesa Arch, a short walk from the road, is what's called a pothole arch — carved by water pooling on the sandstone above it rather than wearing through a cliff face from the side — and it sits directly on the lip of a 500-foot drop, with the true canyon floor another 700 feet below that. Grand View Point, the literal end of the Island in the Sky scenic drive, along with the Buck Canyon and Green River overlooks on the way there, look out over the White Rim — the pale sandstone bench that gives this part of Canyonlands its distinctive layered look from above. Upheaval Dome, the day's strangest stop, is a roughly 6-mile-wide circular structure of jumbled, tilted rock that geologists spent decades arguing over: the leading theory today, strengthened by the 2008 discovery of a rare, pressure-formed mineral called shocked quartz, is that it marks a genuine meteorite impact from roughly 60 million years ago, not the more gradual salt-dome collapse that was long assumed instead.
