About This Adventure

Immerse yourself in Utah’s two most legendary landscapes on this all-inclusive, full-day backcountry expedition through Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. This premium 4x4 tour seamlessly blends the highlights of our most popular half-day excursions, allowing you to escape the crowded tourist highways and experience the deep solitude of the red rock desert in climate-controlled comfort. Guided by local geological and wilderness experts, you will discover hidden landmarks, ancient histories, and dramatic vistas that less than 1% of standard park visitors ever get to witness.

Your morning begins in the rugged backcountry of Arches National Park, navigating the sandstone fins and rolling dunes near Doc Williams Point to stand before remote monoliths like the Marching Men, Tower Arch, and the Eye of the Whale.

After a break for refreshments, the adventure shifts to the spectacular Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands. You will trace the Colorado River corridor, track mysterious Ancestral Puebloan rock art hidden within the canyons, and marvel at the sweeping depths of the Gooseneck overlook and Musselman Arch along the White Rim Road. The ultimate day of desert exploration culminates in a thrilling, comfortable ascent up the historic switchbacks of the Shafer Trail, delivering you straight to the top of the mesa for unparalleled views of a world-renowned geological showcase.
