<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. 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.</p> <p>After exploring the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum, we will eat a quick lunch and depart for <strong>Dead Horse Point State Park</strong>. 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 interesting story of how this park got its name.</p> <p>Next, we will drive over to the adjacent <strong>Canyonlands National Park</strong>. 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 see deep into the virtually untouched canyons below, giving us a glimpse into what life was like thousands of years ago.</p> <p>Following Canyonlands National Park, we’ll travel to <strong>Moab, Utah</strong>, to eat dinner and explore the town. Located 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! You’ll love your stay here just as much as the parks themselves!</p> <p>Finally, we’ll drop you off at your hotel in Moab, letting you relax before the next day’s adventure.</p> <p><strong>Accommodations: </strong></p> <p>Best Western, Holiday Inn Express &amp; Suites, Archway Inn, or similar quality hotel</p> <p><strong>Meal arrangement: </strong></p> <ul> <li>Breakfast: Not included</li> <li>Lunch: Not included</li> <li>Dinner: Not included</li> </ul>

Without a doubt, this is one national park you do not want to miss!</p> <p>Afterward, we’ll return 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 4×4 tour, or more! These adventures will take us all the way until dinner time, which we’ll enjoy in town.</p> <p>The last destination we’ll visit today is <strong>Potash Road</strong>. Found right outside of Moab, Potash Road winds along the Colorado River with water on one side and a huge rock cliff on the other. This road, although beautiful, is not the main attraction.

<p>In the morning, your tour guide will come to pick you up from your hotel and drive you to<strong> Goblin Valley State Park</strong>. The "goblins" in Goblin Valley get their name from the thousands of unique hoodoos, or columns of weathered stone, that dot the surface of this exciting park.

If time permits, your tour guide will take you on a hike to Goblin's Lair, an incredibly tall cave that must be seen to believe!</p> <p>Following Goblin Valley State Park, we’ll depart for <strong>Capitol Reef National Park</strong>, passing along the San Rafael Swell.
