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.

Such an amazing tour from Ron! Highly recommend the backcountry if everyone is able. It is spectacular and Ron is so very knowledgeable. Went with teenagers and they both loved it! Arches is nice from the pavement, but it’s breathtaking from the back roads. Don’t miss a chance to do this tour, you won’t be sorry.

Adam was a good and knowledgeable guide. But not worth the price of admission. You can do better on your own

We paid $675 for our tour and didn’t enjoy it. We took a 4x4 tour. They were short staffed and gave us a river guide. She was a nice girl but knew very little about the geology, even the names of rock formations.

Excellent experience with a knowledgeable guide. Saw parts of the part few visitors see. Tour was about 5 hours.

We had a great 1/2 day 4x4 trip in Arches. They took us to places you couldn’t get to driving on the park road ourselves. They provided snacks and water and did stop at bathrooms. Would definitely recommend this trip.
