• The Grand Canyon
  

  
  The Grand Canyon is a massive canyon carved over several million years by the Colorado River. Grand Canyon National Park boasts an elevation change of nearly 7,000 feet (2,130 m) from Point Imperial (at nearly 9,000 feet or 2740 m) to the banks of Lake Mead (at just over 2,000 feet or 610 m). The canyon itself is, from rim to river over a mile (1600 m) deep. In spots the rock layers exposed in the canyon display over two billion years of geologic history.

• Bryce Canyon
  

  
  Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors.
  
  

• Slickrock mountain bike trail
  

  
  The most celebrated mountain bike trail in the world (though not the most challenging). Actually, it's not a trail; it's a path marked by white-paint dots you follow right on red slickrock. There are multiple similar rides around -- it's all one huge slickrock playground. (You can rent a top-notch bike in Moab)
  
  

• Canyonlands National Park
  

  
  Canyonlands National Park is divided into three districts not connected by roads interior to the park: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, and the Maze (including Horseshoe Canyon). The Island in the Sky offers sweeping vistas over the lower two districts; the Needles and the Maze are more rugged, backcountry districts that offer excellent backcountry hikes and camping.
