Arches National Park 4x4 Adventure from Moab

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.

Arches National Park

Experience these monuments and more up close and learn about the parkā€™s wildlife and history.

This 5-hour tour even includes a stop to see fossilized dinosaur tracks, left behind millions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the region.

We had a great time touring the backcountry of Arches and Canyonlands National Park on this 4x4 tour. Visited Canyonlands in the morning and took the Shafer Trail up to the rim top. In the afternoon we toured some hard to get to places in Arches. The tour guide Josh was very knowledgeable of the area and a great driver. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a great adventure.

It's hard to review this, as we did not go on it. I would like to leave a review of the company itself. About a week before my trip, I began looking into a tour in Moab. This company had some of the highest reviews, so I contacted them about a possible teacher discount; they said they did not offer one, but to look into other possible discounts. I found a free coupon code and entered it into their site (a tab for coupon codes). It worked! I signed all the forms and was ready to go. The day before my trip, I began getting emails/texts and phone calls asking for my remaining balance. I let them know that from my end, everything was complete. They said no, that I must pay the full balance. I sent screenshots of the confirmation and an email from Kim at NAVTEC showing that I had been encouraged to look for discounts. They said, "We do not accept free coupons or comply with any third party coupons." They said that unless I paid in full, the tour was cancelled. So even though there was nothing on their site showing they prohibited this, and even though I was able to book it this way, they said no. I offered to pay 1/2, as I know they are a company and need to make a profit. Again they said all or nothing. We went back and forth on this topic for several texts messages and they even acknowledged that this was not great, as I was only in Moab for one day from Alabama with my two little boys, but they would not budge. The last text was very patronizing, letting me know that I could easily do the Arches on my own with my kids. I know I can do it on my own, I've been a single mom for 4 year and Can do it. I was hoping for someone else to drive us/tell us about the Arches. We did have an amazing trip on our own, but I am deeply disappointed in this company. If they do not accept coupon codes, it should not be an option. Even with my compromising and offering to pay 1/2 they would not budge.
