What To Expect
In such a beautiful landscape, you can’t escape the lure of exploring off the beaten path. But watch out! If you do go off the path, you might be trampling on soil that’s alive. You might think I’m joking, but throughout Canyonlands, Arches, and Moab is something called a biological soil crust. Note: The tour is over 62 miles long, with more than 37 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.

5.00The audio tour is easy to follow and full of interesting facts. The narrator tells in advance when it’s time to pull over for the various viewpoints, trailheads and other stops. The map and story list give a preview of what to expect.

5.00What a wonderful experience!!! My wife and I are were absolutely in awe of the Canyonlands NP by itself, but have our own "personal" guide to explain the history and significant made it unbelievable!! Being able to tour the park at our pace made it perfect!!
