Canyonlands National Park Backcountry Tour
Beskrivning
För att verkligen förstå Canyonlands råa skala, gå av trottoaren och ner på kanjongolvet. Som auktoriserad koncessionshavare för National Park Service har vi exklusiva tillstånd att ta dig in i Canyonlands karga hjärta på detta främsta halvdagsäventyr. Vår rutt börjar längs Coloradoflodens korridor och avslöjar en röd stenöken som de flesta parkbesökare helt missar. Professionella guider erbjuder en autentisk, djupt kunnig inblick i regionens naturhistoria och komplexa geologiska lager. Leden fungerar som en levande tidslinje över jordens historia och visar upp de exponerade bergslagren i parken. Längs vägen går vi ut för att undersöka de intrikata hällristningar som de förfädernas puebloaner lämnat efter sig, ta in den svepande kurvan vid Gooseneck Overlook och spåra över White Rim för att se Musselman Arch. Resan kulminerar med en dramatisk stigning uppför klippväggen via Shafer Trail-växlarna, som tar dig ända till toppen av mesan.

Resplan
Människor som besöker parkerna på egen hand ser vanligtvis bara vad som finns längs trottoarvägen - denna tur kommer att våga sig in i 4x4 backcountry för en utsökt och unik nationalpark upplevelse. Under denna halvdagsupplevelse kommer du att lära dig allt om parker, historia och geologi i Moab-området. Din Guide kommer att peka ut formationer och andra torniga landskap längs vägen. Vi stannar ofta för bilder men det finns lite vandring. Sevärdheter på denna tur inkluderar men är inte begränsade till Potash Road, Shafer Trail, Musselman Arch, Ancient Hällristningar (hällristningar), Thelma och Louise Point, och hisnande utsikt över kanjonen.
Potash Road när den skär längs Coloradofloden, spårar under höga röda klippor innan trottoaren slutar och den verkliga backcountry börjar
Stå under de höga klipporna, där hundraåriga hällristningar som lämnats av antika kulturer etsas in i den mörka ökenlacken.
Vi kommer att klättra uppför den legendariska Shafer Trail, en fantastisk serie av smutsbyten som kramar klippkanten och erbjuder vidsträckta panoramavyer som öppnas upp för varje sväng när vi klättrar mot toppen av Island i Sky Mesa.
Vi stannar till för att titta ut på Musselman Arch, en slående stenbro med platt topp som skjuter ut över en ren 300 fots droppe till kanjongolvet och erbjuder en dramatisk titt på kraften i naturlig erosion.
Tusentals meter ovanför kanjongolvet med vidsträckta vyer över ett landskap snidat av tiden. Där varje lager av exponerad sandsten berättar ett eget kapitel i jordens uråldriga geologiska historia.

Our party of 4 really enjoyed all the beautiful sights that our guide, Ron took us to see. He was very informative. He was a terrific guide!
Kevin took my husband and I out for the afternoon and we saw so many cool sites and heard backstories. So glad we did this and also had an experienced driver
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are so thrilled to hear you had a wonderful time with Kevin and were able to learn, explore all while feeling safe and comfortable! We hope to see you again and safe travels!
We had originally signed for a tour of Arches, but our guide, Kevin, offered us the back country tour of Canyonlands, explaining that the mall of the key sites are easily available by car in Archea. We accepted his offer and we really glad we did! The back country tour of Canyonlands was great, taking on steep and foreboding roads I would never drive down and out of canyons, but Kevin was so experienced a driver we always felt safe.It was like driving into and through the Grand Canyon, The next day we toured Arches on our own, Thanks Kevin you were right. Without having you for a guide, Canyonlands would have been just a bunch of scenic overlooks.
Highly recommend this tour. Kevin Walker was our tour guide. He is very personable and knowledgeable of the park, the history, the landscape, the flora and fauna. He entertained us with lots of stories. We felt very safe with him. We would not have been able to enjoy the park like this on our own.
Amazing tour with Kevin. Kevin made me feel safe on the back roads and he had so much information and many wonderful stories. I highly recommend this tour.
This is a great experience that stops to allow you to view and walk to many of the most iconic locations in Arches National Park. Its comfortable riding on good roads in a minibus with large open windows on both side for excellent photography - a welcome change after bouncing for hours on dirt tracks for other trips. Dane, our driver and guide, kept to the topics for each location, which made the drive even more informative. Listed as "senior-friendly", it is - but I would recommend it for anyone.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we strive to create fun and unforgettable experiences for guests of all ages! We love that you would recommend this tour for all ages too! We hope to see you again and safe travels!
This is a great way to see Canyonlands! Kevin is an experienced driver/guide who gave us an amazing tour sharing the park’s history and little quirky facts which enriched our experience. The views were extraordinary! He pointed out details I would’ve never seen on my own. I recommend this experience wholeheartedly.
You will become immersed in the beauty and history of Canyonlands Island in the Sky on this tour. Kevin is an experienced and knowledgeable guide who is also an expert and very careful driver on this rigorous backcountry tour. He is exceptionally familiar with the terrain and surrounding areas. If you want a great Moab backcountry tour…go with Kevin to Canyonlands!
Since we did not want to drive our own Xtreme jeeps, we chose to do a half day Back Country Jeep Tour of Canyonlands NP. Kevin was an amazing guide - both personable and knowledgeable. He told us lots of interesting facts about the area around Moab and the park. We stopped to check out the Petroglyphs on Potash Rd., then on to a quick stop to see some dinosaur tracks nearby. It was fun to see where the end of the Thelma & Louise movie was filmed, but even more, just taking in the moment to enjoy the incredible beautify surrounding the area near Canyonlands and Dead Horse State Park. The best to me was getting to experience all this on the back roads. Fun!!
Kevin was an excellent driver and tourguide!
