What To Expect

Capitol Reef National Park

Join us for a drive through Capitol Reefs back country to a scenic paradise of desert landscapes in our luxury 4X4 vehicle through cathedrals, temples, buttes and hoodoos that will get you away from most all of the park’s visitors. We’ll ford the Fremont River and drive over the Bentonite Hills, stop at the South Desert Overlook and see Jailhouse Rock, talk about the geology and history of the area, stop at viewpoints along the way, visit the iconic Temples of the Sun and Moon, see geological oddities such as Glass Mountain, Gypsum Sinkhole and ancient lava flows. This trip has tons of photographic opportunities and is missed by most visitors to Capitol Reef due to its remote location and often times challenging roads.Lunches or an Outdoor Cookout and Dinners can be arranged.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending several hours with Jason exploring Cathedral Valley and the public lands in and around Capitol Reef. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and his insight about what we were exploring added to the adventure. He showed us treasures we would have not otherwise experienced and we loved getting so close to the Temples of the Sun, Moon and Stars. He also gave us a great tip about Fishlake…we took a trip there and were blown away by the fall color. Great trip, great guide. Highly recommend!

This 5-hour trip took us through some absolutely amazing country with a wide variety of geological formations. Our guide, Jason, was very familiar with this area and very knowledgeable of the geology and history of the area. This was a very enjoyable journey through a unique region of the country. We visited the Capital Reef area about 20 years ago but missed this entire region. I'm glad that we came back and had the foresight to book a tour with Jason.

We had an amazing half day tour with Kevin! We were there after the monsoon the previous week, so he recommended we drive the upper Cathedral Valley. It was an awe-inspiring morning - visiting natural monuments, vistas and 4x4 driving through back country. We learned so much from Kevin about the park and area. He was kind, fun and so easy to be with. I'd recommend this tour for couples, families or friends looking for a more personalized experience. Capitol Reef is a "less-traveled" park, but offers such a special, untouched feel. Ask for Kevin!!
