Capitol Reef National Park: Cathedral Valley off-road Jeep tour

Location Utah, USA
$490.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Cathedral Valley is one of those places that visitors always end up asking "Where is that?, why didn't I see that when I visited Capitol Reef?"

The reality is, though some of its most awe-inspiring features are included in promotional photos and literature, access to the region is not something a new visitor to the park in a rental vehicle would be advised to embark on. It is, however, one that is highly recommended to any visitor who wants to experience the true heart and soul of Capitol Reef.
We offer two options for this tour: 1. Half Day and 2. Full Day.
1. Half-day tour will take you to the most beautiful and iconic features of Capitol Reef: Temple of the Sun, Temple of Moon, and The Glass Mountain. You will see grand vistas of the colorful Bentonite and Mancos Shale, Mars-like formations.
2. Full-day is an 7-9 hour long trip that will take you on a 60-mile Cathedral Valley loop to all 8 destinations detailed in the tour's itinerary of the "What to expect" session below.

The experience offers several options. This price includes:

Half-day Cathedral Valley
Duration: 4 hours: If you don't have all day for the entire loop of the Cathedral Valley, take this 4- hour tour the most beautiful part of it.
