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!

Jason was a terrific guide. We booked an 8 hour tour, thought it would be a long day but if flew by! Saw so many things that I will never forget. Spiritually uplifting to see the Earth from this perspective. Jason was very cool about me crying the whole time, from joy! I think this tour is a MUST for anyone visiting Capital Reef.

My husband and I booked the full day tour of Cathedral Valley with Jason. What a perfect day! He picked us up at our Torrey lodging promptly at 8am in his comfortable Ford Explorer. I’m so glad we picked Jason to take us into the backcountry of Capitol Reef. We saw and learned so much! He was very knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area. He willingly spent as much time at each site we visited for as long as we desired. We never felt rushed. I sat in the front passenger seat….he patiently answered all my questions. And I asked a lot of them! We were wowed by the breathtaking scenery at every turn. Thank you Jason for giving us a most memorable day!

This was the kind of outing that our family is always looking for -> off the beaten track, stunning scenery and knowledgeable guide. Jason was an outstanding guide; wealth of experience and knowledge of the Capitol Reef and Utah in general. It was a bonus that he is an experienced photographer and shared some tips and also took some great shots of our family in this mystical wonderland. Cannot recommend Jason highly enough.
