We learned so much about Arches from Marcia! Her knowledge runs deep, stories are great, expert 4x4 navigator, and a truly wonderful person! Highly recommend!
Hop into a Toyota Land Cruiser with your expert guide and head north from Moab to the backcountry entrance of Arches National Park and avoid the crowds. Our first stop is to see dinosaur footprints as we pass through Utahraptor State Park. After entry to the National Park, we'll pass Balanced Rock, one of the most iconic features of the Park, standing a staggering 128 feet! The 4X4 trail into the backcounty climbs a short but steep rock wall passing sandstone fins, towering pinnacles and tall spires known as the Marching Men. We stop at Tower Arch for an optional hike. As you travel along the track, hear informative commentary about the geology, wildlife and history of the park. We make another stop at Eye of the Whale for an optional hike to a seldom visited slick rock playground named Herdina Park. After exploring the backcountry we exit through the stunning Courthouse Towers before your guide returns you to Moab.

We did the half day morning tour with Ron. We only had 2 days in Moab while doing the “Mighty 5” park loop and wanted to maximize our experience. This experience/tour was one of the best of our trip. We saw amazing views as well as learning a lot about how this landscape came to be. We took 2 short hikes and had two arches completely to ourselves. Ours was a back country trail, so be prepared there are some bumps and humps but it’s all worth the unique experience of places you get to go that we could have never had without a guide. Would definitely recommend.

This was a fabulous day in the park! We loved every moment. Adam was an amazing guide! He took us to the most spectacular places! We loved the climb to Tower Arch! Couldn't have done that without him! He knows everything about every inch of the park and kept us entertained and enlightened! Best excursion ever! Highly recommend!!
