Canyonlands National Park's Needles District is the jewel of the Desert Southwest, a place unlike any other on our planet. For three days and two nights, you will be completely immersed in its beautiful, remote landscape, riddled with surreal rock formations.

Trip Details

DURATION: 3 Days

Our journey begins near Indian Creek, where towering Wingate sandstone cliffs enclose one of the largest collections of accessible petroglyphs in Utah. As we enter the Needles, our guides will air down the tires for the main event: tackling one of the most difficult 4-wheel-drive trails in Southeastern Utah. The right vehicle and our guides' experience are essential as we conquer notorious 4WD obstacles.

Each evening, we settle into a remote, picturesque camp with Cedar Mesa sandstone towers as our backdrop. As the guides busy themselves cooking creative meals, you'll prepare to sleep under one of the darkest, most star-filled skies visible anywhere in the U.S.

We wake to the sun lighting the tops of the Needles and another day of adventure. Hikers will want to join the must-see hikes (all optional and tailored to your group) such as Chesler Park, Confluence Overlook, Horse Canyon, and much more. 

Our route ensures a thrill: traversing S.O.B. Hill and the Devil's Lane, culminating in the ultimate test of our 4x4 skill over Elephant Hill. The incredible landforms of the Needles are beautiful beyond description and entirely unique in their grandeur. You truly have to see them to believe them.
