The Arches & Canyonlands package combines two National Park 4X4 tours into one day. This combo includes the Shafer Trail, Tower Arch, and a delicious picnic lunch.
It begins high atop the Island in the Sky mesa and descends via the steep switchbacks of the Shafer Trail. We travel a portion of the White Rim for incredible views of the Colorado River corridor below. We stop to take in the sights, but there is little hiking.
The ancient culture of the Ancestral Puebloeans left evidence of their lives in the canyons. We make stops to investigate their mysterious and beautiful rock art before entering Arches National Park.
Tower Arch Arches National ParkOur professional guides add even more color to the iconic landforms and arches as we make our way to the Devils Garden for lunch.
After lunch, we 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. En-route we pass the Marching Men, Tower Arch, and the Eye of the Whale. We exit via an old cowboy trail and see Dinosaur tracks on our way back to Moab.
This 4X4 tour gets you into the area's top two attractions: Arches & Canyonlands National Park. These stunning parks are known for their impressive wild open spaces with the most awesome scenery in America.
