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.

We booked an all day 4x4 adventure to the back-country of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Our guide was Josh Barlow and he made the day an incredible success. Josh is knowledgeable, entertaining and informative. He tailored the trip to suit our hiking skill level and showed us places we would never have seen on our own. We started with dinosaur tracks from 160 million years ago and hiked to three different arches within Arches Park, including the incredible Tower Arch. We had one arch to ourselves and we only saw two other people at the others. Josh turned Arches into a private park for our pleasure. The second half of the trip was in Canyonlands. We followed the Colorado River on Highway 279 to the Potash Road where we stopped for lunch and watermelon that Josh brought along. The views from the bottom of the Park are every bit as impressive as those from the Rim. We finished the day with a two thousand foot climb up the precipitous Shafer Trail ending at Island in the Sky before returning to Moab. If you want an incredible adventure away from the crowds with a superb guide, then book this trip with Josh.

.Easy drive....some of the Arches are viewable from the road others you will need to take a short hike. Bring water and hats if it's over 70 degrees as it is dry desert.
