Your adventure will begin around 9 AM when your tour guide picks you up from either the Salt Lake City Airport or 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 the necessary arrangements.
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 explore what life was like thousands to millions of years ago in Southern Utah. This museum houses over 700,000 archaeological artifacts, ranging from complete sets of dinosaur bones to pictographs left by the Fremont people over 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. Following lunch, we will continue with the itinerary, visiting the following places:
Dead Horse Point: Located just 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 intriguing story of how this park acquired its name.
Canyonlands: Canyonlands National Park is divided into 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 high above the Colorado River. From this vantage point, we will peer deep into the virtually untouched canyons below, providing a glimpse into the region’s ancient past.
Moab: Positioned between Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, Moab is considered the gateway to many of Utah’s most extraordinary natural landscapes. Your stay here will be just as enjoyable as the parks themselves!
We will take a break here to dine and explore the town before dropping you off at your hotel.
