Get a great introduction to the wonders of the Southwest on this half-day journey into the scenery of Canyonlands National Park. This 4x4 ride shows you a whole range of spectacular sights across the landscape, from the grand mesa of Island in the Sky to the artwork painted on ancient rock walls.

A drive across the wide-open desert landscape brings you to the park entrance, where you make your first stop atop Island in the Sky. Admire the sweeping view of the park's rivers and mesas before you descend along the steep switchbacks of the Shafer Trail, and then look out over the Colorado River corridor from along the White Rim as your guide points out the unique geology of the park.

Your visit also gives you an insight into the culture of the Ancestral Puebloean people, who once lived in the canyons and left behind signs of their lives in beautiful rock art that still adorns the landscape. Stop to admire some of the ancient paintings before you depart for the ride back to Moab.
