Itinerary
White Rim Road 4WD Tour (4 hours)Make your own way to central Moab to meet your guide then hop into a comfortable 4WD vehicle for an exhilarating morning drive through the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park.
Your guide expertly steers the 4WD over rugged terrain and hair-raising switchbacks to reach the White Rim Road, a 100-mile (160-km) loop located about 1,000 feet (300 meters) above the Colorado and Green Rivers and 1,000 feet below the mesa. Travel a portion of the White Rim Road and take in stunning views of Fossil Point and the scenic landscape, then connect to the Shafer Trail, which runs from the Colorado River all the way to the top of the mesa. Stop along the route to see rock art made by ancient Pueblo civilizations thousands of years ago.
Westwater Canyon is one of the best spots for experiencing white-water rapids near Moab.
Fisher Towers White-Water Rafting (4 hours)After you refuel with a riverside buffet lunch, switch from 4WD to white-water rafts to experience the majestic Colorado River up close. Before hitting the water, review river safety guidelines and get outfitted with a lifejacket and other river gear. Then step into a raft with an experienced river guide who steers your raft downriver.
Enjoy the Rock Art Sites of Moab where travelers access to ancient drawings scattered along paths even a novice can navigate.
Throughout your full-day tour, your guides share the human and natural history of Canyonlands National Park and the Colorado River corridor. After a fantastic day of off-roading and rafting, you are returned to Moab where your tour ends.

About Moab
Moab is a small red-rock town in south-east Utah, beside the Colorado River and the gateways to Arches and Canyonlands national parks.
Moab sits in a valley of red sandstone cliffs beside the Colorado River in south-east Utah, with the snowy La Sal Mountains rising to the east. It began as a farming settlement in the 1870s, a uranium boom in the 1950s brought a rush of prospectors, and today it is a base for outdoor travel. Arches National Park lies just north, with more than two thousand natural stone arches, including Delicate Arch.
