Description

Go deep into the backcountry of Canyonlands National Park with this off-road excursion along the famous White Rim Trail. From popular sights such as Island in the Sky and Gooseneck Overlook, to short optional hikes leading to secret caves and hidden wonders, NAVTEC’s guides will show you landscapes and wonders of Canyonlands National Park that many visitors miss.

Your journey begins with a four-wheel drive (4WD) into the park's rugged terrain. While the comfortable 4x4 vehicle serves as your transportation, you’ll stop along the route for a number of excellent hikes into caves and caverns that lie just beneath the White Rim Sandstone layer. The hikes are short in duration, moderate in difficulty, and are optional. These brief yet rewarding excursions reveal secret canyons, hidden passages, and a sense of discovery and magic.

The White Rim sandstone is a defining feature of Canyonlands National Park that creates an expansive rock terrace stretching from the Colorado River to the Green River. This dominant feature contributes to the park’s grand vistas and magnificent natural beauty. With the Colorado River beneath you on one side and the cliffs of Dead Horse Point on the other, you’ll witness a sight to remember for years to come.

During the tour, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch amidst the scenic beauty of the park, included in the cost of your adventure. Explore such park treasures as the Goose Neck, Lathrop Canyon, Musselman Arch, and the thrilling Shafer Trail, each offering unique perspectives of the surrounding landscape and the mighty Colorado River.
