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

Hooked up with Mike & Josh for this all-day trip. And it did NOT disappoint! The 4-wheeling was not extreme. Perfect for us and a visitor from Mass (all retirees). At the end of the trip, we traveled back on pavement and saw what the “normal” route would show. It wasn’t close to what we experienced! No crowds. Lunch along the Colorado. Lots of fun information all day long. We are so glad we saw Canyonlands this way! A+++++👍👍👍👍👍

We had a great day taking in the amazing views of Canyonland National Park. The guides were very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The roads were challenging and something I wouldn't have attempted on my own. Loved that we were able to get down into the canyons to explore. Loved seeing the petroglyphs. Also loved hiking out onto the hoodoos. That was probably my favorite part. What a cool experience. We were there in the spring, so the temps were comfortable outside. We would loved to have had more opportunities to get out of the jeeps and explore on foot even if that meant we couldn't have gone as far. I imagine if you are there in the summer and it is blistering hot you might want to stay in the air-conditioned jeep, but in ideal springtime weather it would have been nice to enjoy more of it outside. Overall, a very good experience and a good way to see the park.

We (mom and three college-aged kids) did the Full-Day tour and it was absolutely magnificent!! We spent the entire, and I mean the entire, day down in the Canyon and up high and seeing and doing so much that it is almost too much to remember. We hiked, rode, listened, looked, ate lunch, learned, etc. all over this super cool place. Our tour guide....I cannot for the life of me remember our tour guide's name but she was awesome (raised in SLC, very outdoorsy, SUPER cool lady). We were, I believe, the first tour of the winter but it was like she had done these tours every day -- amazing!! She showed us the petroglyphs, took us to "The Cockpit", took awesome pictures, took us on cool hikes, made a delicious lunch for us, shared the history with us, and literally was the best the entire trip (it was a very long day) and she never ever seemed to be rushed or tired or anything. You can tell she loves this stuff and it made all of the difference for us. We would definitely do another tour with Navtec - the vehicle was perfect and the service was outstanding. Thank you Navtec and our amazing tour guide for an unforgettable experience. We loved every second!!
