    Overview
    Hop into a Toyota Land Cruiser with your expert guide and head north from Moab to the backcountry entrance of Arches National Park and avoid the crowds.

    Our first stop is to see dinosaur footprints. For millions of years this area was teeming with dinosaurs.

    We pass Balanced Rock, one of the most iconic features of the Park, standing a staggering 128 feet. Landscape look familiar? Indiana Jones, and Thelma and Louise have scenes shot here.

    The 4X4 trail into the backcounty climbs a short but steep rock wall passing sandstone fins, towering pinnacles and tall spires known as the Marching Men. We stop at Tower Arch for an optional hike.

    As you travel along the track, hear informative commentary about the geology, wildlife and history of the park.

    We make another stop at Eye of the Whale for an optional hike to a seldom visited slick rock playground named Herdina Park.

    After exploring the backcountry we exit past the three gossips and Park Avenue before your guide returns you to Moab.
    Highlights
    • See more in a 4x4 in Arches National Park with a guide who knows the terrain
    • Gain access to areas that many visitors don’t get to see
    • Learn about the local history, geology, and legends from your guide
    • Multiple tour times allow you to explore when you want to
    • Choose the evening tour for a chance of catching a red-rock sunset
    What to Expect
    This Arches National Park tour starts with pickup in central Moab. Meet your guide and board your 4x4 vehicle to start your adventure through this Utah park known for red-rock and sandstone formations. After a 5-mile (8-kilometer) drive, enter the park with your guide, and learn about the area’s history and legends. Catch sight of some of the more than 2,000 sandstone arches—from giant sandstone fins to tall spires. You might recognize the landscape from movies such as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Thelma and Louise. Your guide takes you down backroads and up a steep rock wall that you might not see otherwise and offers insight into the geology and wildlife. Ice water and lemonade are provided. Late afternoon tours may include sunset views. Leaving, you’ll drive down an old cowboy trail, where you’ll encounter dinosaur footprints and return to central Moab.

    Money well spent!!

    TL;DR - Worth every penny, knowledgable tour guides, adventurous 4x4 offroading in Land Cruisers, see 90% of the park in 5 hours and arches you can't get to with your own car. HEADS UP: Take motion sickness pills if you are prone to getting sick...More

    Back Country View of the Arches

    Being the first visit to Moab we wanted to see as much of the Arches National Park as we could. The straightforward approach would utilize the main roads and put us in the middle of the tourist crowds. By taking the 4x4 approach we were...More
