My wife and I took the Canyonlands NP White Rim Trail 4WD day trip with NAVTEC. This was by far a great way to see the park back country without the hassle of driving myself and having the right vehicle to handle the roads. The sites of the Colorado River, the canyons and the back country are absolutely stunning on this trip. Besides the beautiful scenery, the best part however were our two guides, MC and Tyler, who did all the driving, took care of our needs, snapped our pictures and knew all the right places to stop and see the grandness of Canyonlands. If you love getting back into the wilderness without having to do the work, this trip is definitely for you...and be sure to ask for MC or Tyler as your driver and guide!

Exceptional, excellent, words escape me. I would have never been able to see this part of the park without this tour, and it is what I will remember the most. The scenery is breathtaking, the weather was wonderful. And what really made this trip for me was our guide. From the moment he said hello until he said goodbye, he made me feel comfortable-I belonged on this tour. He was able to answer all our questions about the geography, geology-everything I wanted to know. As a person who is afraid of heights, he made me feel comfortable, he made us laugh, and if I ever take another trip with this group, I will specifically ask for him. He is the reason the tour will forever remain with me as one of the most outstanding tours I have ever taken in a National Park.

We did the 4-8 pm Canyonlands tour and it was amazing. The sites were stunning and the light and shadows, sun and clouds at that time of day really made for awesome photographs. So much to see and learn in this unique landscape. Our tour guide, Josh B., was excellent. So knowledgeable and fun, plus a top notch driver, which is important since some of the tour is along cliff edges with switchbacks. It was fantastic!! I highly recommend NavTec and Josh.
