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.

Jason was amazing! His knowledge of the area and the ability to take walks in areas where one might encounter some animals but absolutely no other hikers made our excursion just superb. My wife and I would highly recommend him.

In July 2021, I took a wonderful half-day tour with Jason. Tour highlights included Cathedral Valley (including Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon, and Temple of the Stars); Jailhouse Rock; and Lower South Desert Overlook. We even saw portions of a fossilized dinosaur skeleton! The tour was by far the highlight of my visit to Capitol Reef and Southeastern Utah. I highly recommend Jason and Waterpocket Adventure Company. Jason is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and a great communicator. And he never tired of all my questions! I promise you will not be disappointed.

My wife, daughter and I had the pleasure of being Jason's first customers with his new company. The company may have been new, but Jason showed years of experience in guiding tours with his off-roading capabilities and extensive knowledge of the Capitol Reef area history and unique geological formations that make up the area. We took an all-day tour of Cathedral Valley that allowed us to see unbelievable sights we would've never seen on our own. He's also an awesome camp chef as he prepared a wonderful meal for us in the shadow of the Temple of the Sun. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of tour guide, vehicle accommodation, and sights seen.
