Overview

The tour will head north on US 191 passing the entrance of Arches National Park which was designated as a National Monument before being changed to a National Park in 1971. Our special use permit allows us to enter the back door to Arches via Willow Springs Road. Along this backcountry route, you'll travel through the new area of the "Utah Raptor State Park". Here where Native Americans lived back in history for thousands of years you'll see dinosaur tracks and enjoy the views of the La Sal Mountains. The Park lies atop an underground salt bed that is responsible for the arches, spires, and sandstone fins. Several of the stops include Eye of the Whale(Backcountry), Balanced Rock(Pavement), Sand Dune Arch(Pavement), Delicate Arche Viewpoint(Pavement), and the Windows Section(Pavement). The trip length is approximately 4 hours duration. All vehicles are Jeep Rubicons which are enclosed and air-conditioned.

RIC!

Published on Nov, 2024

We should have known that it was going to be a spectacular day when we all realized that our car's (also a Jeep) license plate coincidentally had the letters "RIC" the same as our Moab's Jeep tour guide's name: Ric! Ric was very knowledgeable about the area, but instead of spewing facts at us, we were able to have a relaxed friendly conversation. Ric has a great sense of humor which added to the days fun! It was a memorable day and we would highly recommend Ric Otero!

Adrift tours …winner

Published on Nov, 2024

Adrift Tours, through Audley Travel was great! Our guide, Mark was exceptional. Very friendly, knowledgeable and polite. His suggestions for restaurants, side trips ( needle Overlook) were worth the ride. Enjoyed the tour and his company. Thanks Audley and Adrift tours….another great vacation .

Arches jeep backcountry tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Rick was an excellent guide and allowed for ample time for pictures as well as photos of us. Highly recommended. Guide was very knowledgeable.

We would do it again.

Published on Oct, 2024

We did 3 tours with Adrift; The Needles full day, the White Rim full day and the Arches half day tours. We had the same guide, Bill, for all 3 and we appreciated that. He was a fabulous guide and we enjoyed every minute. The tours were well organized and he was always ready on time. He shared lots of interesting stories about the area. We saw so many things that we would not have seen if we had just used our own vehicle.
