Arches NP. Backcountry Morning or Afternoon 4x4 Jeep
Overview
Discover the Unseen: An Exclusive Arches Backcountry Escape
Experience Arches National Park the way it was meant to be seen, from the backcountry. While the crowds stick to the paved roads, our unique backcountry access allows us to enter through a remote gateway. Your journey begins with a scenic drive north on HWY 191, leading to an unpaved, rugged route that serves as your entrance to the park. Along the way, you’ll uncover the rich history and fascinating geology of the region, traveling directly over the ancient salt beds responsible for the world's most famous arches and spires
Off-the-Beaten-Path: Highlights of the Backcountry tour May Include: Eye of the Whale, Tower Arch, the Marching Men, Skyline Arch, and Sand Dune Arch
Park Icons: As we proceed out of the park, you will see views of Balanced Rock, the Windows Section, and Park Avenue. Giving you the chance to see areas you may want to come back to and explore on your own.
