Arches Tour Fabulous

5.00Touring Arches is the best way to see highlights and special sites in the park you wouldn't see on your own. The roads are very rough and the jeeps are well equipped with some air conditioning, which in the summer is a must.

5.00My partner and I had already been in the park so we were not sure what to expect. Our guide, a guest professor, and the two of us went out. I did not do much research on the tour other than base it on ratings. I thought I had seen the park, but this tour is the real deal. Our guide was a scientist and super knowledgeable on geology and specifically this park and area. She definitely showed us things that we never would have seen or known to look for. We were with a professor of astronomy, and I think that he was quite impressed with her knowledge as well. If you really want to learn about the park, this is a must! Beyond that and aesthetically you see the park from an angle that probably only very few of the population ever see. Be prepared to hike a bit and be prepared to be on bumpy roads in the back country. But definitely do not miss this if you really want to see the Arches! This was super fun and not to be missed! It was a highlight of our trip!
