About this experience

Each vacation deserves a unique sunset location and those that are yet undiscovered are few and far between. Leave the sunset watching crowds at the TripAdvisor standard recommendations of Dead Horse Point or Green River Overlook as you hike a short distance and scramble up an easy rock to your private spot and nestle in for a uniquely spiritual end to your day as you watch the sun set over the primordial horizons. Travel 2000 feet through Moab's best backcountry from the base of the sunset light bathed red rock canyons to the height of the enchanting mesas where you'll end your day like never before in the company of the ancients and their inviting spirits.

This tour is limited to 4 guests.

Plan on a short, bumpy, but fun ride through Moab's best backcountry in a 4x4 vehicle, one easy hike and a sunset visit to Canyonlands National Park.

PLEASE READ: WHY WE DON'T INCLUDE PARK ENTRY INTO THE COST OF OUR TOURS We are regulated by the National Park Service who sets all entry and tour guidelines. We very much sympathize with the possible extra cost to you, but If we did we would be limited to where we can take you inside the parks and that would significantly compromise your tour experience. Moreover, since you can use an existing pass to get in for free on our tours, we would be overcharging most of our guests who already have a pass. If you have a park pass you’re set. If not, please do not acquire one ahead of time (non-refundable) - you can easily purchase it directly from the National Park on the day of the tour. Please call Moab In a Day directly with any questions.

Please cancel your tour if on the day of the tour you present with the following symptoms: fever of 100.5 F or 38.1 C of higher, or chills, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches, loss of taste or smell that cannot be attributed to another condition.

Important notes

CANCELATION POLICY | PARK ENTRANCE FEES | VISITOR CENTERS

OUR CANCELATION POLICY is 24hrs even for last minute medical issues. Please purchase travel insurance to cover unexpected medical circumstances that would preclude you from joining the tour on the day of the tour.

DO YOU HAVE physical limitations or an existing medical condition? The Moab areas is known for having the most medical rescues in Utah. The rugged footpaths and harsh dry climate of Moab can quickly exacerbate a well managed condition into an emergency. Let us know what we need to look out for so we don't have to guess when an emergency arises. Call us at 435.210.8501 to let us know!

WE DO NOT INCLUDE cost of entry into the National Parks into the cost of tours, but entry is free with an existing national park pass (veterans, 4th graders get a free pass that covers up to 4 guests; anyone 62 year or over is entitled to a discounted $20 pass that covers up to 4). As a company we would much rather include the cost, but that would mean we wouldn't be allowed to visit some of the best spots and your visit to these parks would be compromised and incomplete. If you're doing a road trip to many other national parks, you can pick up a park pass at the first park you arrive to. However, if Moab is your sole destination, please do not purchase a park pass ahead of time. Call Moab In A Day LLC directly at 435.695.0595 if you do not have an existing pass to find out about options.

WE DO NOT STOP AT VISITOR CENTERS: Our tours are well planned and well executed and filled with amazing sightseeing! In order to optimize the sightseeing time on this tour, we do not make stops at the visitor centers because we believe it's not the best use of the tour time. Good news: the main Visitor Center in Moab at the intersection of Center & Main is run by the same organization as the park souvenir shops with the exact same items and passport stamps. You can shop there like you would inside the parks without the rush!
