An Amazing Tour - The experience we had with Zed on this private, half-day tour couldn't have been any better. What he was able to show us, and the background and stories he provided in connection with it, made our visit to Canyonlands very memorable. We would recommend this tour without hesitation.

We won't shut up about how awesome it was - My husband and I chose the backcountry tour of Arches and Canyonlands and we're STILL raving about the experience! Mostly due our guide, Zed, who was THE BEST. He's incredibly knowledgeable -- whether it was geology, biology, local wildlife, or Native American history -- and his love and respect for Moab truly comes through. He made the experience so special for us and we had a ton of fun "nerding out" with him for 8 hours. P.S. I'm afraid of heights -- and Canyonlands *definitely* isn't for the faint of heart -- but Zed made me feel so comfortable around every bend. (Even "Pucker Pass"!) From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU ZED!

Awesome trip into Canyonlands NP! - We took the tour with Jack, Zed, and Luke. The trip was awesome! The guys were knowledgeable on the facts ands legends of the area. They told stories throughout the trip while keeping a careful eye on the narrow and rocky trails. If we are fortunate to get back in the area, we would definitely look up Moab Scenic Adventures for another tour.

Our Adventure In Moab is set on 11-12, 2024 with the young 70s from the SF Bay Area - Incredible adventure exploring Canyonlands and Arches in Moab National Park. Our guide, Jack W., made the two-day tour exceptional with his expertise and ensured our safety throughout. Despite the thrilling ride in Canyonlands, Jack made us feel completely secure. Highly recommend Jack for an unforgettable experience!

Canyon land with Zed - We took the morning and the scenery was very beautiful. Zed was our driver and I would highly recommend him. He's very knowledgeable on the canyon and the entire Moab area.

Amazing variety of views on a crazy fun ride! - What a fantastic off-the-beaten-path tour!! Jack was a wonderful tour guide, and an amazing driver. Not for the faint of heart, but we loved seeing the park from the top and bottom!

What a Ride! Best Tour We've Been On! - We cannot say enough about our half day trip into Canyonlands with our astounding tour guide Jack. The private tour was worth every penny. IMHO Canyonlands is the most underrated of the national parks we have visited. It is no joke. On our half day private 4x4 tour and saw just a tiny percentage of the north rim. But what a ride. The views! The thrill! Even our experienced 4x4 racing guide called the 2000 ft of elevation switchback road we tackled extreme. We drove under fallen rocks. Oh and did we mention the views? And petroglyphs! Plus fun fact, the end of Thelma and Louise was filmed here because no one is allowed to shoot in the Grand Canyon. (Which also means The Brady Bunch was a lie too. Sigh.) That said, everything was made all the better by Jack who is a geologist and could explain everything we saw and many things we didn’t. Just his own story was worth the price of admission. Sometimes guides know a lot but are just hard to listen to. Not Jack. He made his story part of the adventure and accommodated our every desire, including my wife who is in a wheelchair. Highly recommend!

An Incredible Adventure - This trip was astounding. Our driver/guide Jack Winn was phenomenal. His local knowledge, both historical and geological was amazing, and his skill over all terrain rendered even my height-challenged wife comfortable the entire time. We will wholly recommend this trip to anyone interested in this incredible area of an even more enormous and captivating park.

Beautiful view of Canyonlands - Our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids) did the private half day tour with Phil from Philadelphia. Phil was a great guide with interesting stories and facts about the landscape, vegetation, and wildlife. Our vehicle fit the 7 of us comfortably and the back row was able to see the views just fine. We would never have reached the beautiful places ourselves! Highly recommend!
