Outstanding! Our guide Adam was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and very personable! He gave us an excellent overview of both Arches and Canyonlands and he did it in a way that was very interactive. He catered to our needs and wishes and made us laugh while learning. He prepared an outstanding lunch and had plenty of water. One of the best experiences during our 2 weeks in the Southwest. I highly recommend!

Courtney was an awesome guide. We traveled on the back roads of the parks and saw things most people would not be able to see without a 4x4. It was a beautiful and unique experience. I highly recommend it.

Full description

Take a 4x4 driving tour through Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. This thrilling adventure includes stops for short hikes and scenic views. Keep your energy up along the way with a refreshing picnic lunch.
After pickup from your hotel in Moab, drive towards Canyonlands National Park high atop the Island in the Sky mesa. Descend via the steep switchbacks of the famous Shafer Trail and enjoy a brief stop to explore Native American rock art that was carved into the cliffs by the Ancestral Puebloans.
 
Continue through Canyonlands along a portion of the White Rim Trail over to Musselman Arch for incredible views of the Colorado River below. Enjoy a few stops with short hikes.
Stop at Devils Garden for a delicious picnic lunch. After lunch, enter Arches National Park near Doc Williams Point. Climb a steep rock wall and drive across a valley through sandstone fins and dunes.
 
Pass the famous Tower Arch, the Eye of the Whale Arch, and the Marching Men — a group of 7 towers lined up in one row. Stop for some short walks to enjoy the fresh air and admire the views of the red rocks.
Once you have explored both parks you'll be driven back to Moab, with a brief stop to explore dinosaur tracks along the way.
