Description

The Arches and Canyonlands Full-Day 4x4 Tour takes you to two of the area's top attractions, Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, in just one day. These stunning parks are known for their impressive wild open spaces with the most awesome scenery in America. Explore the Shafer Trail, Tower Arch, and more, with a stop for a delicious picnic lunch along the way.

Your excursion begins high atop the Island in the Sky mesa and descends along the steep switchbacks of the Shafer Trail. Then, travel a portion of the White Rim for incredible views of the Colorado River corridor below. Stop to take in the sights, but there is little hiking.

The ancient culture of the Ancestral Puebloans left evidence of their lives in the canyons. Make stops to investigate their mysterious and beautiful rock art before entering Arches National Park.

The tour's professional guides add even more color to the iconic landforms and arches as you make your way to the Devils Garden for lunch.

After lunch, you'll start the backcountry Arches 4x4 tour near Doc Williams point. The trail climbs a steep, but short rock wall, cuts across a valley and meanders through sandstone fins and dunes. Enroute you'll pass the Marching Men, Tower Arch, and the Eye of the Whale. Exit via an old cowboy trail and see dinosaur tracks on the way back to Moab.
