Off-road to Hans Flat Ranger Station, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

The remote Hans Flat (Maze) Ranger Station is normally open daily year-round. While physically located in Glen Canyon NRA, it is operated by the rangers of Canyonlands National Park. The Hans Flat Ranger Station is two and one-half hours from Green River, Utah. From I-70, take Utah Highway 24 south for 24 miles. A left hand turn just beyond the turnoff to Goblin Valley State Park will take you along a two-wheel-drive dirt road 46 miles (76 km) southeast to the ranger station. From the ranger station, the canyons of the Maze are another 3 to 6 hours by high-clearance, 4WD (more if traveling by foot). Another four-wheel-drive road leads into the Maze north from Highway 95 near Hite Marina (driving time is 3+ hours to the park boundary). This ranger contact station has a picnic table and vault toilet, and a small selection of books and maps for sale. There are no services, food, gas, trash collection, electricity for visitor use, nor potable water. The nearest communities with amenities are Hanksville (68 miles) and Green River (86 miles).
