Day 1 Dinosaur Museum, Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park
Stop At:
If Salt Lake City is chosen as the pick-up location, we will start the tour at the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum. At this museum, you can discover what life was like thousands to millions of years ago in Southern Utah. This museum contains over 700,000 archaeological artifacts, ranging from complete sets of dinosaur bones to pictographs left by the Fremont people more than 2,000 years ago. No matter your interests, you are bound to find something you enjoy.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Dead Horse Point State Park
Located only a few miles from Canyonlands National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park offers a unique view of the Colorado River 2,000 feet below. While driving around, your tour guide will tell you the unusual story of how this park got its name.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands National Park is made up of three distinct regions: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, and the Maze. We will be touring the Island in the Sky region which is situated far above the Colorado River. From this vantage point, we will see deep into the virtually untouched canyons below, giving us a glimpse into the region's ancient past.
Duration: 3 hour
Stop At: Moab
Located between Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, Moab is seen as the gateway to many of Utah’s greatest natural landscapes. You’ll love your stay here just as much as the parks themselves!
Duration: 1 hour
Day 2 Arches National Park and Adventure in Moab
Stop At: Arches National Park
With more than 2,000 arches, Arches National Park has the densest concentration of natural sandstone arches in the world! With only a short hike, many world famous arches can be seen up close, including landscape arch, delicate arch, and double arch. This is a national park you won’t want to miss!
Duration: 5 hour
Stop At: Moab
Embark on a self-guided escapade! Upon your arrival back in Moab from Arches, an assortment of exhilarating adventures await you (please note that these are exclusuring in your tour cost). We highly suggest thrilling experiences such as river rafting, speed boating, or even a helicopter ride... If there's any time left over, the quaint charm of the town invites you to explore, hike, or partake in a variety of other enjoyable activities.
Duration: 4 hour
Day 3 Goblin Valley State Park, Potash Road and Salt Lake City
Stop At: Potash Road
Located right outside of Moab, Potash road winds along the Colorado river with water on one side, and a huge rock cliff on the other. Along this road, your tour guide will show you ancient petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks, as well as additional arches that can be accessed by foot.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Goblin Valley State Park
The “goblins” in Goblin Valley get their name from the thousands of unique hoodoos, or columns of weathered stone, that dot its surface. In this State Park, there are no official paths, allowing you to walk up close to the hoodoos and take pictures. If time permits, your tour guide will take you on a hike to Goblins Lair, an incredibly tall cave.
Duration: 2 hour
Stop At: Salt Lake City
If you choose to depart from Salt Lake City, your tour guide will drop you off either at the airport or a hotel of your choosing. Settled in 1847 by a group of pioneering Mormons, Salt Lake City has blossomed into the vibrant capital of Utah and gateway to the west. If time permits, your tour guide will take you to see the twin hearts of this city: Temple Square and the Capitol Building.
