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.

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.

What an amazing experience! I walked into NavTec's office to find out about various adventures and was interested in a Canyoneering trip. I ended up opting for a 4x4 adventure through Arches instead, and had a terrific experience. They send you out in a Toyota LandRover which seats 4-5 guests max (5 only if there is a little one that can ride in the rear jump seat). We elected to go off-roading to see the parts of the park that people don't typically see, so our driver Bob set off toward Tower Arch near the north end of the park. We stopped at several points along the way for pictures and short hikes, then once we arrived at Tower Arch we hiked up to it (maybe a 10 minute hike) and took in the view around us. I can't say enough great things about our driver Bob. He is very outgoing and friendly, and has a lifetime's worth of amazing stories to share as well as the occasional joke. He's been driving off-road vehicles most of his life, so even though significant portions of the trips were bumpy and seemingly precarious we never felt like we were in danger and instead we were amazed about what the LandRover was capable of in Bob's trusty hands. I would rate this higher than 5 stars if I could, and will definitely consider another trip to see Canyonlands in the future.

Our guide took us up close to 2 arches that we would not have been able to do on our own. He was full of great facts and info about the area and even dropped us off at a restaurant for dinner. Donā€™t hesitateā€¦book it!!

We had a great time exploring areas in Archerā€™s that were off the beaten path. Adam was a great guide, full of information and entertaining commentary. He took us over some very rough terrain with great skill. We never felt in danger even though it was plenty exciting at times.
