Arches National Park Backcountry 4X4 Tour
Arches National Park Backcountry 4X4 Tour
Group
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Experience Arches National Park the way it was meant to be seen—Our exclusive permits allow us remote access off the beaten path.
The adventure begins in Utah Raptor State Park to visit fossilized dinosaur tracks on our off-road route into the park. Sit back and take in the views from a climate-controlled 4x4 built specifically to handle this demanding terrain.
Your guide will dig into the human history and geology of the region, traveling over the shifting salt valley beds that engineered the world's highest concentration of natural stone Arches.
Discover hidden landmarks most visitors miss like the Eye of the Whale. Tucked away in Herdina Park, it is an incredibly quiet pocket of the park.
As we transition out of the backcountry, the route showcases the park’s heavy hitters. We take in expansive views of Balanced Rock, the Windows Section, and gain a glimpse of the famous Delicate Arch giving you a flawless overview of the park on your way back to Moab.

You DO NOT need a reservation in Arches National Park to participate in this tour.Utahraptor Park
20 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedBefore crossing into the national park, our off-road route cuts directly through Utahraptor State Park, home to one of the densest Early Cretaceous dinosaur bone beds in North America. Here, we leave the 4x4 for a short walk to examine fossilized dinosaur tracks permanently stamped into the desert stone. Your guide will decode these ancient footprints, introducing you to the prehistoric hunters—including the massive, fearsome Utahraptor—that ruled this exact terrain millions of years before the arches even formed.Eye of the Whale Arch
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeEye of the Whale Arch is located in the Herdina Park area of Arches. An optional 1/2 mile hike leads you under the arch to an outcropping of seldom visited red rock formationsBalanced Rock Trail(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeStanding over 128 feet tall, Balanced Rock is one of the park’s ultimate heavy hitters, but it’s a lot more than just a great photo stop. Your guide will show you how this massive, 3,500-ton block of Entrada Sandstone is performing a high-wire balancing act atop a shrinking pedestal of softer Dewey Bridge mudstone. It is a perfect, real-time demonstration of how different rock layers erode at different speeds, offering a striking reminder that this ancient landscape is constantly changing right before our eyes.Upper Delicate Arch Viewpoint
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeNo trip to Arches is complete without seeing the park’s crowning jewel. Our route brings us to a overlook, offering a classic long-distance view of Delicate Arch.Windows(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeThis spectacular zone features the highest concentration of massive spans in the entire park, including North Window, South Window, Turret Arch, and the towering Double Arch. Your guide will point out the massive cavernous openings of Double Arch—famously featured in the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade as the hidden cave of the Cross of Coronado. Beyond the movie magic, you’ll discover how these immense amphitheaters were hollowed out from the inside out, creating some of the most dramatic overhead architecture in the American Southwest.
