Moab, Arches & Canyonlands Escape

A very important feature of our Moab adventure is the small group size, as nature encounters in the desert canyonlands are best experienced in the more intimate context of a smaller group. We divide our group into two vehicles, each with a guide, further enhancing a personalized experience and low-key presence.

Accommodations, meals from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on final day, drinking water throughout the trip, services of Nat Hab Expedition Leader, airport transfer on Day 1 and final day, some gratuities, all permits, entrance fees and taxes.

Travel to and from start and end points of trip, alcoholic beverages, some gratuities, passport and visa fees, optional activities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, souvenirs, etc.), airline baggage fees, airport and departure taxes, optional travel insurance.

Moderate
This adventure requires a moderate degree of physical fitness to get the most out of your experience. While not every day, you should be able to walk at least 3 miles at a time, unassisted on dirt and rock trails with potentially uneven terrain and inclines, and possibly muddy or slippery surfaces at altitudes up to 7,000 feet above sea level. There is the potential to cover 5-6 miles total throughout the day. Each day may include short walks ranging from 300 yards to 1 mile. Most of the trip takes place in an arid desert environment, and the sun can often be intense. Our days generally start quite early and are very full with activities, including a few long drives. While travelers are not required to participate in all activities, should you opt out of the day’s scheduled activities, we cannot always guarantee that alternatives will be available.

In order to see Delicate Arch in Arches National park, you must be able and prepared to walk on steadily inclining trail, with varied terrain, over the course of 3 miles (roundtrip) and 480 feet of elevation gain.

On custom or private departures with smaller groups, our ability to accommodate varying levels of physical abilities or interests is limited, since these trips are staffed with a single Expedition Leader who may be assisted, pending availability, by local guides.

Arrival: Arrive by in Grand Junction, Colorado by 4 pm in order to attend a welcome dinner beginning at 6 pm on Day 1.

Please note that guests arriving before 1 pm on Day 1 will have the option of joining a guided scenic driving tour of Colorado National Monument with opportunities for short walks along the way.

Departure: You may depart Grand Junction, Colorado any time after 12:30 pm on the final day.
