Canyonlands National Park 4X4 Back Country

Ancient Native American Writings

You'll see prehistoric dinosaur tracks and centuries-old Native American drawings along this half-day adventure!

Escape the complications of everyday life as you head out into backcountry of Canyonlands National Park for an excursion aboard a rugged 4x4 vehicle. This air-conditioned vehicle will take you along the Utah Scenic Byway, which offers unparalleled views of the Colorado River. Explore evidence of the lives that called these hills home as you see the largest collection of prehistoric American Indian writings and incredible dinosaur tracks petrified in a prehistoric river bank! Inside the national park, you'll enjoy a breath-taking view from one of the most famous locations in movie-making history - "Thelma and Louise Point," as it's popularly known, offers amazing views from more than 400 feet above the winding Colorado River. 

Avoid the same fate as those two heroines as the tour continues to the historic mining road known as Shafer Trail. Enjoy the sights of amber and gold cliffs rising from the desert floor as you continue down the unpaved trail for an off-road adventure unlike any other!
