Maze District
Due to the district's remoteness and the difficulty of its roads and trails, the Maze is the least accessible district of Canyonlands, requiring more time as well as a greater degree of self-sufficiency to visit. Trips usually last a minimum of three days, and the area can easily absorb a week-long trip.

Maze visitors should be skilled in the use of topographic maps and, if traveling by vehicle, in technical four-wheel driving. The Orange Cliffs Unit of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area shares Canyonlands National Park's western boundary and is administered under the same backcountry management plan and reservation system. While some regulations differ, the information here should assist Orange Cliffs visitors in planning their trips to this area.
