4WD half-day from Moab through Canyonlands Island in the Sky, White Rim Road stops, Gooseneck Overlook, Musselman Arch, rock art.

“We had Mike as our guide. He gave us options on what we wanted to do, so that we weren't bound to a strict schedule or particular stops. It was a great way to see the Arches and spend the day. We saw a part of Arches that was not overcrowded and out of the way that most people probably don't get to see.”

Both had fun but definitely some White knuckle parts of the trip. All smiles in the end and good stories to tell”

The entire experience — not just what I did and saw, but who was taking me to these places and telling me about them — was simply incredible. I would not hesitate to recommend Navtec to anyone heading in this direction.”
