We were on the Canyonlands 4x4 tour leaving at 4:00 pm and returning at 8:00 pm. Our guide, Jon, was experienced, professional and knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about the geology, history and unique soil and plants to be found in the national lark. We saw petroglyphs on the way to the park, drove a portion of the White Rim Trail, saw the Musselman Arch, stopped to do a short hike to the Gooseneck Lookout and even spotted jet skiers on the Colorado River. We ended with a vista-filled drive up the Shafer Trail followed by a stunning sunset. Seeing the canyons in the fading light of the day presented rare photo ops on roads less traveled.
