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. For millions of years this area was teeming with dinosaurs.
We pass Balanced Rock, one of the most iconic features of the Park, standing a staggering 128 feet. Landscape look familiar? Indiana Jones, and Thelma and Louise have scenes shot here.
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 past the three gossips and Park Avenue before your guide returns you to Moab.

The park is stunning but we thought we would do more hiking see both Delicate and Landscape arches. I think the sign up form should ask if there is any type of disability so that disabled people are not grouped with able bodied folks. Its not fair for either group. The guide was great and very knowledgeable and had all kind of funny stories.

We’re not usually tour people- but we couldn’t get an entrance time to Arches National Park- so we decided to do the 4x4 tour- and it was fantastic! We saw so many areas of the park we would never had seen in a regular car. Our tour guide Hayden was so great and knowledgeable- and fun! We had an amazing time- and it was a great way to see an overview of the park and also some really special areas. 10 out of 10!

Wife and I paid $398.00 for this tour. Alan, the tour guide we guide, refused to drive in the "front country" of Arches NAt Park and instead, against our objections, spent two hours driving us through the flat backcountry trying to impress us with his "4-wheel skills." The advertisement on the website said we would spend 60 minutes at The Double arches. I got out od the jeep to take pictures and Alan became upset and said we didn't have time to spend here because HE wants to show us the "Backcountry" which is not listed on the itinerary. He said he didn't want to have to put on his back pack and walk with us so we should get back in t he vehicle. The other couple in the jeep with us (that's right 5 people in a 4 seat jeep!) had the same experience. Alan didn't want to let us out to take photos. We were supposed to have an hour to explore The Double Arches and only got 5 minutes. I was furious about that and showed him on the website where it clearly sates this stop is 60 minutes, not 6! We didn't get to see much of Arches at all, but instead got a very bumpy 2 hour drive through the flat, rocky back country which had nothing to offer. I'll NEVER use NAVTEC again !! I recommend using any other tour company.
