SIGNATURE TOUR
A six-night, seven-day adventurous guided backpacking journey that traverses the wild lands of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park.
This strenuous 50-mile route starts high on a ponderosa-pine covered ridge before following a deep, archeologically rich sandstone canyon for a few days.
Visiting such sites as the Big Ruin and Angel Arch and drinking spring-fed water. Leaving the canyon behind via a steep ladder in a tight crack, the route now alternates between canyon and high ridges with surreal views. Taking in Chesler Park before heading down to the Colorado River, just below its confluence with the Green River in an 1800-foot deep canyon.
The journey culminates with a scenic 50-mile long jet boat ride back to Moab.*
