2020 Map of The Loop

About this map

The Loop dominates this section of the Colorado River, where the watercarved landscape of Canyonlands National Park creates a series of intricate plateaus and deep drainages. The transition from the high desert overlooks to the river bottom is documented through a dense network of specialized routes, including the Colorado River Overlook Road and the Confluence Overlook Road. These paths navigate around significant landforms such as Elephant Hill and Squaw Butte, highlighting how the natural geology dictates movement through the terrain.
