About This Adventure

Ascend from the riverbed to the canyon rim on a premium, half-day backcountry safari through Canyonlands’ iconic Island in the Sky. This legendary 4x4 excursion traces a path through time, revealing an ancient geological wonderland of exposed rock layers.

Guided by local experts, you will escape the tourist traffic to explore a pristine red rock wilderness filled with mysterious Ancestral Puebloan rock art and awe-inspiring vistas. Stand above the canyon floor at the Gooseneck overlook and Musselman Arch along the White Rim Road.

Your journey finishes with a breathtaking, climate-controlled climb up the steep switchbacks of the historic Shafer Trail, revealing the majestic, secret depths of the canyon.
