About this activity
Your tour begins in the town of Moab after meeting your experienced guide. Board your comfortable 4x4 vehicle for the 5-mile (8-km) drive to the park. Once inside Arches National Park, your off-road adventure begins at Doc Williams Point.
More than 2,000 giant sandstone arches are scattered throughout the park, which is the largest collection of naturally occurring arches found anywhere in the world. Find pinnacles, fins, and rocks along this epic landscape of rich red earth sculpted by time. Take in amazing geological formations such as sandstone spires and layered red rock. Admire the sandstone fin known as Marching Men and the 92-foot (28-meter) span of Tower Arch.
If some of this landscape looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen it one of your favorite Hollywood films. Popular movies like Thelma and Louise were shot in portions of the park, as were scenes for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Towards the end of the tour, have the option to leave the park through the ruggedness of an old cowboy trail.
After exploring in this unique southern Utah terrain, your tour finishes in the town of Moab from the same spot where it began.

If you want an experience you will never forget and will be raving about it for years to come this is it.You will love it!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, especially being inside the formations, walking up to the Eye of the Whale Arch, and the excellent commentary from our guide, Chip.
Terrific tour. Our guide was Chip. He knows that country so well and what a fun ride. Amazing tour!! Highly recommend.
We were enjoying the typical Moab tourist experience. Even with inflated ''tourist price' on seemingly everything. So we were surprised and delighted with our Arches National Park Backcountry tour, well worth the money! I don't know if we were lucky, or the other driver/guides are as competent and personable our guide David Swafford. We plan on another different tour, and hopefully we will get David again.
