About this tour

Canyonlands rewards a full day. The drive is a little further from town, and the views rival the Grand Canyon. Eight hours gives room for named viewpoints like Mesa Arch and Grand View Point, a picnic lunch at a remote overlook, and spots most visitors miss entirely.

Your guide adds Dead Horse Point State Park and, on the drive in, options for remote cliff vistas and Native American rock art. Choose six hours to keep the pace brisker, same caliber of views, less wandering time.
