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 pass through the new area of "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 points of interest include Eye of the Whale Arch and other backcountry areas of the park. Passing by Balanced Rock and the Windows Section. The trip length is approximately 4 hours. All vehicles are Jeep Rubicons, which are enclosed and air-conditioned.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the kids on this 4x4 Jeep tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but younger kids might want to be at least 6 years old to really enjoy the ride. They should be able to fit in the seatbelt comfortably. My 7-year-old had a blast and the guide was super accommodating!

Q: What should we wear for the Jeep tour in Arches National Park?

A: Definitely wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes – you might get out to explore some spots. I wore hiking boots and lightweight pants, and it was perfect! Also, bring a hat and sunscreen because the sun can be pretty intense.

Q: What happens if the weather cancels our Jeep tour?

A: If the weather's bad, they usually reschedule you for another day. They take safety seriously, so if there's a storm or unsafe conditions, they'd rather move your tour. I got rained out once and they were super flexible with finding a new date!

Anyone tried the 4x4 Jeep tour in Arches National Park?

I just booked the backcountry Jeep tour for my partner’s birthday and I'm so pumped! We’re doing the morning tour so we can catch the sunrise over the La Sal Mountains. Heard they provide snacks and drinks, which is awesome. Any tips on what to expect?

Just did the 4x4 Jeep tour! Here’s my recap.

Wow, the Jeep tour was a blast! The guide was super knowledgeable about the park’s history and the dinosaur tracks were a highlight. We got to see Eye of the Whale Arch and I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was in person. I totally recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience in Moab!
