Start your tour with a 3.5-hour drive from Salt Lake City to the entrance of the park. As you near the border of Canyonlands, the red rock cliffs begin to stretch skyward. After a hearty lunch, your guide will begin your tour of the park, tailored to your interest and activity level.
Multiple cliff-top overlooks provide varying perspectives on how remote and unspoiled this area is. Mesa Arch provides a picture frame to the landscape in the distance below.
This tour of Canyonlands will leave you with an appreciation for the depth of the canyons, the vastness of the landscape, and the struggle of the people who lived and worked in this harsh environment.
On the return trip to Salt Lake City you will stop at your choice of several highly-recommended local restaurants for dinner. You will then be delivered back to the Salt Lake City area by 10:00 PM.
