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. If you're looking for a Jeep tour of Capitol Reef give us a shot, we don't drive Jeep but have more comfortable luxury vehicle to accommodate larger groups, enjoy the air conditioning on those hot summer days!

Did the 1/2 day Cathedral Valley tour. It was a perfect way to get to see the park. The tour goes off road and into spots you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. Jason was super knowledgeable and showed us some unique spots others don’t know about.

This was a blind date, a referral from a different and unknown website, that turned out to be just what I wanted...sights in and around Capitol Reef Park that were ideal for photography. Jason has lived and worked in the area for decades, interrupted by more than twenty years in the military. Among his many assignments, he taught photography to Seal Team 6. We started out before sunrise and ended up 9 hours later with a late lunch. Breakfast and lunch were at restaurants I never would have found. During the trip I learned much about the history and geology of the area that Jason loves, more than I could possibly remember. Monsoon-like rains had been in the area for days, so Jason's 4-wheel, snorkel- equipped Toyota and his driving skills were challenged frequently. In fact, we could not get to one area he had in mind.

I had a really great experience going on a tour with Jason. I called him after a word-of-mouth recommendation from a fellow solo traveler. He quite literally picked me up maybe 20-30 minutes later, as he happened to have some time in his day. I did a half day tour with him. He is extremely knowledgeable, and easy-going. He showed me parts of Cathedral Valley, including the Temples, and Glass Mountain. I never would've been able to get there on my own. We also stopped in a few areas for a short walk in to see some cool things that I never would've found on my own, like dinosaur bones! He even provided snacks and drinks.
