<p>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.</p> <p>From Salt Lake City, we will drive southeast until we reach the <strong>USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum</strong> 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.

Regardless of your interests, you are bound to find something you enjoy.</p> <p>After exploring the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum, we will have a quick lunch and depart for <strong>Dead Horse Point State Park</strong>.

<p>In the morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel and drive you to<strong> Petrified Forest National Park</strong>.

<p>In the morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel and drive you to <strong>Zion National Park</strong>, which is only 30 minutes away.

We'll also explore the remnants of Fruita, a small town established in the 1880s.</p> <p>Afterward, we'll depart for <strong>Goblin Valley</strong>, traveling through the San Rafael Swell. The "goblins" in Goblin Valley derive their name from the thousands of distinctive hoodoos, or columns of weathered stone, that dot the landscape of this captivating park. Within this State Park, there are no designated trails, allowing you to get up close to the hoodoos and capture photos. If time permits, your tour guide will lead you on a hike to Goblins Lair, an astonishingly tall cave that must be seen to be believed!</p> <p>Finally, we'll return to <strong>Salt Lake City</strong>. Founded in 1847 by a group of pioneers, Salt Lake City has evolved into a vibrant capital city of Utah and a gateway to the West.
