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 a fun and wonderful way to see the park. We had John for a driver/guide, and in the sections with longer drives between sights he regaled us with local history and his own experiences. He told us some wonderful stories, that have us wanting to look further into local history. He is a Fabulous guide and driver!

We totally enjoyed the adventure. Phil was great. He had stories and facts about everywhere we went. We learned a ton about the ecological system in Arches. What an amazing place. Thanks Phil and Viator.

My husband & I did the back country 4x4 tour with our good friends, a family of 4. At first, we balked a little at the price of $110/adult & $100/child, but boy, were we happy we did this! Doug & Charlotte were our guides in two vehicles. My best friend & I went with Doug, & the husbands & the boys went with Charlotte. Doug was super-knowledgeable & interesting--what a life he's had! And Charlotte was perfect with the little ones (9 & 10 going on 20 & 21). They were a bit jaded going into the tour, but by the end, they were incredibly engaged & were anxious to do more hikes in the other parks the following days. Yahooee! (Thanks, Charlotte!) We saw several formations up close; climbed into the Eye of the Whale arch & got up close to the Marching Men. The views they showed us were breathtaking, & they took us to the Windows for sunset. It was perfect. Bathroom breaks were perfectly spaced, & they even provided some yummy healthy snacks. We would highly recommend this tour & Navtec. Did I mention they picked us up & dropped us off at our hotel? The Best!
