Arches National Park 4x4 Adventure from Moab in Moab booking from $170.73

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.

What To Expect

Arches National Park

Visit Arches National Park on a 4-wheel drive (4WD) tour that features spectacular sandstone arches and access to areas that most visitors don't see. An expert guide will maneuver your 4WD past red rock highlights such as Marching Men, Tower Arch and Eye of the Whale. Experience these monuments and more up close and learn about the park’s wildlife and history.

Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail

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

Tower Arch

An optional hike to the awe-inspiring Tower Arch begins at the foot of the bluff, where the 4WD road ends. From here, the route is rocky and steep, though short. Tower Arch itself is very large with a 92-foot span and can be viewed from the trailhead for those opting out.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Ben was informative, knowledgeable, interesting. I would highly recommend him as a guide. He is a native of Moab and proud of Moab's heritage.

If you want to see some of the geological features of the site that the general public does not see, this is your tour. Dinosaur tracks are accessible if you have the right vehicle on the old entrance road, but you better have a high access vehicle. Tower Arch road will damage almost any general use SUV and certainly every sedan. With the right vehicle, you will see something that few park visitors can access without walking almost 1.7 miles one way, very rocky (tough to see a trail), and it looks uphill BOTH ways. Our guide drove us there and was it rough, but worth the bumps. Would have liked to have a little more time to see some of the features more close up, even if just from observation areas. Even not seeing these Arches/rock formations, we still took 5 hours. Very informative guide (John) who answered all our questions about the geological formation of the park over the eons. Good overall view of the park features which we could follow-up on the next morning. Park was not crowded due to COVID so we were able to get some decent photos without tons of tourists crowding the Arches and trails.

The trip was great. John was our guide and was extremely well informed on the history, topography and geology. He is a fun guy and a real character. I would highly recommend this tour. We have been to Arches on our own in the past, but this experience was from a different perspective. You need to do both if you enjoy hiking. One observation: We took the 4 p.m. tour which allowed for some great sunset colors, but resulted in a return trip in the dark. At this time of the year (late Sept) I would recommend that the trip begin by 3 p.m. rather than 4 p.m.
