Let the friendly folks of Utah open their doors and help deliver the adventure of a lifetime, from magnificent views in a hot air balloon to the towering rock formations of Arches National Park, come see what all the fuss is about.

Hot Air Balloon Ride - Time to be Confirmed

Imagine ascending to greet the sunrise as you drift among geologic wonders that were being created when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The fragile sandstone of Arches National Park and precarious rock towers drift past, each one defying gravity with you. Across the horizon, the 13,000 foot La Sal Mountains cast a long shadow upon the town of Moab and Canyonlands National Park. The pilot and the winds navigate to your own personal destination, your mind and camera alive with images that will last a lifetime.

2 PM | Scenic Rafting Trip

Admire the golden light and ever-changing colors on the canyon walls along the Arches National Park boundary. End your day on a natural high of “river magic.” After check-in, your group will enjoy air-conditioned transportation along the scenic Highway 128 on the way to the river. An overall milder experience than our AM Raft Trip, this section provides calmer floats punctuated by occasional splash; the well-known Whites Rapid (Class II or III depending on the season) will cool you on a hot summer afternoon. Let us literally row you into the sunset as you relax and contemplate the journey. The perfect way to cap off your adventures for the day.
