As our expedition through Canyonlands National Park continued, we embarked on a journey of exploration and discovery, venturing from the Maze Overlook to the captivating landscapes of the Doll House. Join us as we recount the highlights of our second day, filled with awe-inspiring vistas, challenging terrain, and the timeless beauty of the Maze District.

Traversing the Teapot Section:
Leaving behind the Maze Overlook, we embarked on a scenic drive around the canyon to reach our next destination: the Doll House. Having traversed the Teapot section previously, we were familiar with the rugged terrain and sandstone formations that awaited us. As we journeyed deeper into the heart of the park, we marveled at the rich tapestry of red rocks, hoodoos, and canyons that defined the landscape.

Arrival at the Doll House:
After seven hours of driving, we finally arrived at the Doll House, our home for the next two nights. Nestled amidst the sandstone structures of the Maze District, the Doll House beckoned with its otherworldly beauty and rugged charm. Eager to begin our exploration, we decided to take a short hike up the hill behind the campground, immersing ourselves in the stunning vistas that surrounded us. From the vantage point atop the hill, we were treated to panoramic views of the Needles District, a breathtaking sight that left us in awe of the park’s natural splendor.

Day two of our adventure through Canyonlands National Park was a testament to the park’s diversity and allure, offering a glimpse into the mesmerizing landscapes of the Maze District. From the rugged canyons and towering sandstone formations to the sweeping vistas that stretched as far as the eye could see, each moment was filled with wonder and discovery. As we settled into our campsite at the Doll House, surrounded by the timeless beauty of the desert landscape, we were filled with gratitude for the opportunity to experience such a pristine and untouched wilderness.
