Private Backcountry Canyonlands 1/2 Day 4x4

About This Adventure

To truly understand the raw scale of Canyonlands, you have to get off the pavement and down onto the canyon floor. As an authorized concessionaire of the National Park Service, we hold exclusive permits to take you into the rugged heart of Canyonlands on this premier, and private, half-day adventure. Breaks away from the crowds to explore the Island in the Sky district in Canyonlands. Our route begins along the Colorado River corridor and reveals a red rock desert that most park visitors completely miss.

Professional guides offer an authentic, deeply knowledgeable look into the region's natural history and complex geological layers. The rugged trail serves as a living timeline of earth's history, showcasing the exposed rock layers within the park. Along the way, we'll step out to examine the intricate rock art panels left behind by the Ancestral Puebloans, take in the sweeping bend at the Gooseneck Overlook, and track across the White Rim to view Musselman Arch. The trip culminates with a dramatic ascent up the sheer cliff face via the Shafer Trail switchbacks, delivering you right to the top of the mesa.
