This was a thrilling drive through Canyonlands with spectacular views! Much of the road traveled on is steep, rough and narrow along cliffs, so be prepared for a thrill. Our guide picked us up on time at our hotel and was very knowledgeable and passionate about the park. I gave a four star rating instead of five only because the center of the back seat in the vehicle is not very comfortable.
Arches not Canyonlands

We had Mike as our guide. He gave us options on what we wanted to do, so that we weren't bound to a strict schedule or particular stops. It was a great way to see the Arches and spend the day. We saw a part of Arches that was not overcrowded and out of the way that most people probably don't get to see.
