Ticket questions

How much does a guided Canyonlands 4x4 tour cost from Moab?

Guided tours start around $298 for a full-day trip. Multi-day expeditions cost $800 or more. Half-day trips generally cost between $210 and $240.

Do I need a permit to drive the White Rim Road?

Yes. All vehicles and bicycles require a day-use or overnight permit. The park strictly enforces this rule.

Can you do the White Rim Road in one day?

Yes, but it requires a very long, 9- to 10-hour drive. Many guided outfitters offer this option. If driving yourself, the park recommends 2 to 3 days.

Recommend as excellent guides and backroad adventure that they show you the amazing places. Everything was fantastic

Our guide, Ben was quite exceptional, and we had a great experience on the white rim tour in Canyon lands. The white rim trail is a former mining road, but it’s pretty rough and the 4 x 4 vehicle used handled it well. We booked the full day tour and had a great time.
