45 reviewed
Two national parks sit within an hour of town, and this page pulls the best ways into both. Guided drives and 4x4 runs into Arches, half-days out to Island in the Sky, scenic flights that take in the lot. What each tour covers, how long it takes, current prices, and which one beats the gate line on a busy morning.

“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.”

“Wonderful trip. Not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for a wild off-road adventure to an amazing hike, this is the trip. There were four of us: two adults, and two kids (10,17).
