Canyonlands National Park Bingo

A black collar and a green body. It basks on the rocks and may run on its hind legs.

A collared lizard can run on just its two back legs when it needs speed, tail out for balance, so it looks like a tiny running dinosaur crossing the rock.

A 0.6-mile loop to a 27-foot arch on the rim. The opening frames the White Rim and the La Sals.

A pothole arch on the very edge of the Island in the Sky rim, framing an open drop to the White Rim country below.

A low cactus with scarlet cups. Stay back; the spines are small and the plant is fragile.

The claret cup gets its name from its flowers, which are shaped like little cups and are a deep red, the color of a drink called claret. A single mound can hold dozens of blooms at once in spring.

The end of the Island in the Sky road, with a 1.8-mile flat walk along the rim to the point.

The overlook at the end of the Island in the Sky road, and the biggest canyon view a family can reach on foot.

A twisted evergreen on the mesa top. Its blue cones look like berries.

At Craters of the Moon, Utah juniper grows in the park's lower-elevation lava country, alongside the more dominant Rocky Mountain juniper.

A short walk to the rim above the Green River and the Soda Springs Basin.

A short, near-level walk from the parking area to a railed rim above the Green River side of the mesa, looking down the Soda Springs Basin and the White Rim tow…

Heavy curled horns and sure feet on the cliff. Give it space and keep your distance.

A ram's two curled horns can weigh up to 30 pounds together, about as much as a big bag of dog food, and he carries them on his head his whole life.

Red-and-white spires in the second district, about 90 minutes from Moab. A separate day.

The banded red-and-white spires that name the second district, eroded from Cedar Mesa Sandstone.

Big ears and a bouncing run. Look along the rim at dawn or dusk.

Mule deer are named for their ears, which are about three-quarters as long as their whole head. Those big ears catch faraway sounds and also let heat escape to keep the deer cool in the desert.

A crater with tilted layers and a puzzle at the center. The first overlook is a short walk.

A crater about three miles across with a ring of tilted rock layers around a central uplift.

A wild dog you may hear before you see. Listen for yips and howls after dark.

A coyote's yip-howl can sound like a whole pack when it's only one or two animals — the sound bounces and doubles.

A 0.8-mile scramble up a sandstone dome. Good shoes, steep edges.

A 0.8-mile round-trip climb up the side of a sandstone dome, from its tail to its blowhole, for broad views over the Island in the Sky.

A big black bird that rolls in the wind. Its croak is deeper than a crow's caw.

Ravens are some of the smartest birds alive. In tests they can "count" to about seven and solve puzzles, and young ravens do about as well as adult chimpanzees on some thinking tasks.

A 0.6-mile loop under an overhang with ladders, a cowboy camp, and pictographs.

A 0.6-mile loop in the Needles, under a long rock overhang past a spring, an old cowboy line camp left in place, and a pictograph panel, with two wooden ladders…

A small bird with a falling whistle. Listen at the canyon walls; you may never see it.

Its song is a sweet, descending whistle that may be the only sign the bird is there.

A state-park overlook about 2,000 feet above a gooseneck bend of the Colorado River, on the same mesa road as Island in the Sky off UT-313.

Hundreds of petroglyphs on UT-211. Look, do not touch.

One rock face carrying hundreds of petroglyphs pecked over roughly 1,500 years by Ancestral Puebloan, Ute, and earlier makers.

A 100-mile dirt loop below the mesa. A permit and a high-clearance rig, not a family drive.

A 100-mile dirt loop around and below the Island in the Sky mesa, dropping in on the Shafer switchbacks and run as a two-to-four-day high-clearance 4WD or mount…
