Overview

The north district of Capitol Reef National Park is better known as Cathedral Valley and is famous for monolithic cathedrals of Sandstone that rise hundreds of feet into the sky. Diverse geological wonders abound throughout the different sections of the valley, keeping first time visitors on the edge of their seat.

Early in the tour we cross the Fremont River at “River Ford” on our way to the amazing mars-like landscape of the Bentonite Hills. Trip highlights are dispersed throughout the tour allowing for constant photo opportunities and interaction with your knowledgeable guide. Lava fins, temples, hoodoos, crystal formations, canyons, and wildlife make this a tour of epic proportions of which you are sure to enjoy!

If you only have one day in the park and don't want to focus on hiking, this 4WD offroad sight-seeing tour is a must!!!

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
