Picture vibrant sandstone walls chiseled by the mighty Colorado River, lit by the evening glow of a desert sunset, and backed by a magnificent range of snow-capped mountains. In the midst of Utah’s Canyon Country, Moab’s backcountry provides the perfect setting for your multi-sport adventure.
At Arches, we’ll hike through a geological wonderland, where natural exhibits of pinnacles, arches, pedestals, and balancing rocks seem to defy the laws of physics. Contrasting colors, textures, and landforms distinguish the many vegetation zones of this canyon country, each offering its own kind of adventure. At Dead Horse Point, expansive views of maze-like chasms typify our mountain biking experience along the acclaimed singletrack. Moab’s canyon country’s vertical landscape challenges us with fantastic introductory canyoneering. And, while the Colorado River’s power is present everywhere throughout our adventure, nowhere is it better realized than on our exciting day of river rafting.
This is the perfect tour for the adventure seeker with little experience in the outdoors or families departures with younger children.
