About This Tour
On this half-day 4WD adventure from Moab, explore the rugged, red stone interior of Canyonlands National Park, where you’ll experience the beauty of the Island in the Sky district and the stunning Gooseneck Overlook. Your professional guide will navigate your vehicle down the switchbacks of the famous Shafer Trail, where you will not only see the remains of ancient Pueblo civilizations but also admire the canyon walls that drop 1,000 feet (300m) down. It’s an easy drive from Moab to Canyonlands, and the views of the meandering Colorado River help cap off this Utah adventure.

Special Instructions
• Advised to reconfirm your reservation with the tour office (Adrift Adventures 435.259.8594) the day before your tour. • Arrive 15 minutes before departure time. Please note that departure times and locations may vary slightly. • Minimum numbers apply. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there are not enough passengers to meet the requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative or full refund • For the safety and comfort of all our National Park Backcountry Jeep tour guests, if the seat belt cannot be safely fastened, then this issue will need to be taken care of before the date of your tour. We encourage guests to address all seating needs when booking. We highly recommend not leaving any possible seating issues for the day of your tour. Our jeep tours are operated in 4-door Jeep Wranglers and hold a max of 4 passengers, plus one of our well-trained and knowledgeable guides as the driver. • The Jeep Wranglers used have four passenger seats, and the guides/drivers have all guests rotate seats throughout the trip. This makes it so that one person isn’t stuck in the same seat for the entire trip. • Not recommended for those with motion sickness, vertigo, etc. • Due to these tours being “backcountry” tours, you will be going off the paved roads and are elevated to have the clearance to do these off-road trails. • Things to bring: camera, water bottle (free refills available), sunglasses, sunscreen, visor/hat, and sun protection • Sturdy footwear – for hiking • Day Pack – comes in handy if you have one but is not necessary • Camcorders and cameras – bring them at your own risk
