【2CanGo】7-Day Utah “Mighty 5” Outdoor Adventure Tour

Your adventure will begin around 9 AM when your tour guide picks you up, either from the Salt Lake City Airport or from a hotel of your choosing. If you'd like to start your tour from an area other than Salt Lake City, please let us know, and we'll make arrangements.

Starting from Salt Lake City, we will drive southeast until we reach the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum in Price, Utah. At the USU Eastern Prehistoric 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.

After exploring the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum, we will have a quick lunch and then depart for 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 share the interesting story of how this park got its name.

Next, we will drive over to the adjacent Canyonlands National Park. This park is made up of three distinct regions: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, and the Maze. Today, we will be touring the Island in the Sky region, which is situated far above the Colorado River, on top of the Colorado Plateau. From this vantage point, we will gaze deep into the virtually untouched canyons below, giving us a glimpse into what life was like thousands of years ago.

Following our visit to Canyonlands National Park, we'll travel to Moab, Utah, for dinner and to explore the town. Positioned between Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, Moab is seen as the gateway to many of Utah's greatest natural landscapes. This popular town has it all: river rafting, hiking, rock climbing, helicopter tours, horseback riding, and even skydiving! Your stay here will be just as enjoyable as the parks themselves.

Finally, we'll drop you off at your hotel in Moab, allowing you to relax before the next day's adventure.

Our last destination for the day is Potash Road. Located just outside of Moab, Potash Road winds along the Colorado River, with water on one side and a massive rock cliff on the other.

Next, we'll depart for Gooseneck State Park, which offers stunning views of a river that has carved deep into the landscape, creating a canyon full of tight turns that are sure to surprise you.

If time allows, your tour guide will lead you on a hike to Goblins Lair, an incredibly tall cave that must be seen to be believed!

Following Goblin Valley State Park, we’ll head for Capitol Reef National Park, passing through the scenic San Rafael Swell. Capitol Reef National Park holds a rich history and boasts unique geology.

The Wave Valley is a small and remote area. Upon reaching the Wave Valley, you'll need to traverse a trail that's approximately 10.2 kilometers (6.3 miles) long. This area is recommended for experienced hikers, as the terrain consists mostly of smooth rock and sand, requiring skilled navigation. Due to its remoteness, cellular signal is limited in this location. The landforms here have been shaped over millions of years of erosion. The intricate layers of rock comprise immense sand dunes that began forming during the Jurassic period, 150 million years ago. Back then, these dunes resembled a vast desert, continuously covered by red sand saturated with groundwater. Over time, minerals in the water precipitated, compacting the sand into sandstone and forming a layered structure. This ancient sand dune eventually gave rise to a type of sandstone known as "Navajo sandstone." The erosion process has sculpted a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect, featuring sandstone swirls adorned with a variety of unique colors. These rare natural formations attract visitors from around the globe. These captivating landscapes are truly some of Earth's greatest treasures, and their preservation should be of utmost importance.
