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 stop at the Bentonite Hills, walk around, take pictures, talk about the geology and history of the area, stop at viewpoints along the way and enjoy the solitude, visit the iconic Temples of the Sun and Moon, see geological oddities such as Glass Mountain 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. 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 or enclosed SUV with a heater for the chilly days! We do winter tours as well.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Interesting 1/2 day private tour to Cathedral Valley. I was traveling alone from Florida through the “big five” national parks in Utah. I had taken several small group tours while in Moab, but there was another couple or party of three with me in the car so they were not private tours. I was looking for something like that at Capital Reef, but as it’s not as well known there is not that kind of demand there. This made the tour by far the most expensive one I took on my trip, as I paid the full price for only one person. However, my itinerary only had one night at Capital Reef so wanted to make the best use of my time so decided to go ahead and splurge. Soooooo glad I did!!! Jason takes a lot of pride in his craft, and gave me an incredible tour of this very beautiful and interesting area. I was originally hoping to take the afternoon tour the day I arrived to the area so that I could integrate his night time stargazing tour. Unfortunately, a snowstorm hit that day (in mid-October!). So had to postpone until the next morning. We saw the Temples of the Sun, Moon and Stars, the glass mountain (wild!), lava dikes, gypsum sink hole and even some dinosaur fossils. The scenery we drove through to get to and from the valley was also so beautiful. Really great day. Also enjoyed some excellent hot tea, and was offered snacks. I am hoping to get back to the area again, as Capital Reef has so much to offer. Definitely could be a destination for a several days trip in and of itself. Jason is so knowledgeable about the area. He offers other trips as well, Goblin Valley, Burr trail, etc. He can put together dining experiences in these remote areas! I hope to get back there for a trip with friends, plan ahead with Jason to put together some amazing experiences! Definitely stargazing. Jason has also taught photography so is a great resource person to help with photos. The tour was a great investment, as there is no way that I could have or would have seen so much on my own. These areas are very rugged, and you need a 4x4 vehicle for a lot of places. Definitely recommend for solo travelers, families, friends, couples, anyone. Thank you Jason for your expertise and experience which led to an unforgettable day for me!

With snow in the forecast, our arrival time questionable, and lack of secure booking ability at the location we were staying at, Jason was more than accommodating with us! Waterpocket Adventure Company is his personal business and he takes pride in making sure that this the best experience possible for your group. Pick up is convenient, at your hotel. Everything is thoughtfully organized for our full day private tour. Jason is extremely knowledgeable & considerate. Thank you, Jason, for your service to us on the tour & more importantly, thank you for your service to your country.

My husband and I, along with our two friends, took a half day 4WD tour of Cathedral Valley with Jason. He was extremely accommodating and respectful of our needs and special situations. Jason was an excellent guide and very familiar with the history and geology of the area. We couldn't have been more pleased and would heartily recommend doing a tour with him. He was very easy to talk to and knew just where to take the best photos. A really terrific day and time well spent!
