What To Expect

Canyonlands National Park

After making your own way to the meeting point in central Moab, your guide takes you by 4WD vehicle about 30 miles (48 km) to reach the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park.

Utah Scenic Byway 279 Rock Art Sites

In an area filled with challenging mountain passes, technical terrain and plenty of level 2, 3 and 4 hikes, the Rock Art Sites of Moab offer travelers easy access to ancient drawings scattered along paths even a novice can navigate.

Dead Horse Point State Park

Your guide takes the White Rim Road, which gives you awe-inspiring views of the Colorado River below on one side and the cliffs of Dead Horse Point rising on the other side, framed by the blue desert sky.

White Rim Road

This rugged portion of the 25-mile (40-km) White Rim Road loop offers incredible views around every bend. Explore more of this amazing landscape on several short optional hikes just beneath the White Rim Sandstone level. Follow your guide on moderately challenging hikes to caves, caverns and breathtaking viewpoints over the mighty Colorado River. Or simply relax near the vehicle and soak up the views.

Lathrop Canyon

You also visit park treasures such as Gooseneck overlook, Lathrop Canyon, Musselman Arch and the famous Shafer Trail, which follows a series of switchbacks down to the Colorado River corridor.

Moab

Your full-day tour includes a stop for a delicious buffet-style picnic lunch accompanied by cold water and lemonade. At the end of an unforgettable day, your guide returns you to Moab to end your tour.

Green River

Below the Island in the Sky mesa sits the White Rim formation, an expansive rock terrace located about 1,000 feet (300 meters) above the Colorado and Green Rivers and the same impressive distance below the mesa. In this rock wilderness, big horn sheep traverse rocky ledges sprinkled with piñon and juniper forest

Josh was an excellent tour guide. Rafted the Colorado River in the am and 4x4’d the White Rim Trail in the pm. Highly recommend this full day tour!

We had a fantastic experience with Navtec on the White Rim Trail. We are a family of 4 with two teenage sons. We've been to a lot of National parks - and definitely seek out the experiences that get us the deepest into the park that we can go. Canyonlands is vast, and driving around on the mesa in Islands in the Sky isn't going to get you very far or really experience what the park is. We considered renting a Jeep from one of the many vendors in Moab, but knew that we wouldn't necessarily maximize the time we had without prior knowledge of the canyons or the mesa, as well as the risk involved with driving an unfamiliar vehicle. We settled on Navtec's tour, and we got a great tour. We were able to visit several of the canyons, seeing washes and scenery that is impossible to see without getting offroad. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable, and just enjoyable to spend the day hanging out with. Navtec's Land Cruisers are comfortable, and had adequate space for our family and our gear for the day.

We had a wonderful tour with Mike as our guide. He was an experienced driver, extremely knowledgeable about Canyonlands and a good photographer. I would not have tried to drive where we went, we saw very frightened tourists trying to drive those roads on their own. Mike appeared to have been able to drive the roads in his sleep, knew just where to stop to get the most of our trip! Thanks, Would HIGHLY recommend!
