The Maze, Canyonlands National Park, Utah.


If you are really fall in love with hiking, and at the same time, you love to see the beautiful place, The Maze is one of the suitable place for you. Located at Canyonlands National Park, Utah, this is one of the dangerous hikes in the world. 

The most remote section of Canyonlands National Park receives about 2,000 visitors per year, and not because it isn't worth visiting. The red rock labyrinth known as the Maze is difficult to reach, almost impossible to navigate, and full of dead-end gullies. It always presents the danger of rockfalls or deadly flash floods. 

The sheer danger of the place - which rangers emphasize to any visitors, insisting on detailed itineraries and good communication - has kept fatalities in the area of zero, though there was a double suicide in the summer of 2013. Deaths and accidents in the rest of Canyonlands, however, are a regular occurence and show just how deadly the Maze would be if anyone could get there. 

The Hans Flat Ranger Station is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will be closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
