Our expert guides will teach you about the desert environment, geology, and local history and lore while visiting dinosaur tracks, petroglyph and pictograph panels, and some of the most scenic places in the United States: Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and the surrounding areas. Our off-road capable vehicles will take you to places and scenery that will blow you away for hiking or just touring--and that you may not have even known about--all while offering tips and suggestions about other things to do in the area on your own.
PLEASE NOTE: Arches National Park no longer allows guides in the Fiery Furnace.

Let us share our passion for the desert with you! We can even bring you to collect azurite at the Blue Crystal Mine
I want to again thank you for a great experience last week. The views were awesome, the hiking vigorous (with a few times a wee bit frightening for a non-hiker!), your wealth of knowledge outstanding, and your enthusiasm for your work is contagious. Also impressive was your cooking!
We had a thoroughly enjoyable, highly interesting and thought-provoking afternoon on our desert and rock art tour with Mike. He was the highlight of our trip to Moab and we can't say enough about this thoughtfulness, intelligence and humor. We should have booked an entire day with him!
Mike is a uniquely talented individual, a “renaissance man” of sorts, who places a heavy emphasis on your personal safety. Being a physician with an interest in photography, we had a lot in common. One of my lifelong goals was to get that perfect photograph of False Kiva in late afternoon with storm clouds in the distance. Mission accomplished!
(False Kiva has since been closed to guides by the Park Service)
