This was truly one of the best tours we have ever done. It is so nice to have a professional driving the narrow roads in Canyonland. The views are breathtaking and cannot be seen without a tour like this.. Cody was an amazing guide, and a great driver!!
Explore the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park on a half-day 4-wheel drive (4WD) tour. Your experienced guide negotiates steep switchbacks and rugged tracks along the White Rim Road to take you to stunning vistas such as Gooseneck Overlook. See sites with remnants of ancient Pueblo civilizations, canyons that drop 1,000 feet (300 meters) straight down, and parts of the Colorado River. An easy trail from Moab, this area offers a fantastic experience of Canyonlands National Park.
