In the morning, your tour guide will come pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Arches National Park. At 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 in all their glory, including landscape arch, delicate arch, and double arch. Without a doubt, this is one national park you do not want to miss!

Afterwards, we’ll return back to Moab, Utah for an adventure of your choice. These adventures could include river rafting, horseback riding, additional hiking, a riverboat tour, an off-road 4x4 tour, or more! These adventures will take us all the way until dinner time, which we’ll eat in town.

Following dinner, we’ll have time for additional activities of your choice, ranging from additional hikes, walking around town, a riverboat dinner, or more.

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

Accommodations:

Best Western, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Archway Inn, or a similar quality hotel.

Meals Included: Breakfast

In the morning, your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to Potash Road, located just outside Moab. Potash Road winds along the Colorado River, offering water on one side and a towering rock cliff on the other. While the road itself is beautiful, its main attractions lie beyond. Along this route, your tour guides will showcase ancient petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, and additional arches accessible by foot.

Next, we'll journey to Goblin Valley State Park. The name "goblins" refers to the numerous distinctive hoodoos—weathered stone columns—that adorn this captivating park. The absence of designated trails in the park permits you to approach the hoodoos closely and capture incredible photos. Time permitting, your tour guide will lead you on a hike to Goblins Lair, an astonishingly tall cave that must be seen to be believed!

After exploring Goblin Valley State Park, we'll travel back along Highway 191 to Salt Lake City. Established in 1847 by a group of pioneers, Salt Lake City has flourished into the vibrant capital of Utah and a gateway to the West. If time allows, your tour guide will accompany you to visit the heart of the city: Temple Square and the Capitol Building.

Depending on your departure flight time, we can drop you off at the airport or at a hotel of your choice.

Accommodations: Not included

Meals Included: Breakfast
