About this tour
Trade paved roads for red-rock backcountry on a Moab Canyonlands hiking and camping tour, where rugged 4x4 routes lead to remote camps and unforgettable desert scenery.
Starting near the Needles, travel past towering Wingate sandstone cliffs and ancient petroglyphs as your experienced guide tackles challenging four-wheel-drive trails. Each evening, settle into a remote camp framed by Cedar Mesa sandstone and enjoy meals prepared by your guides beneath a remarkably dark, star-filled sky. Optional hikes let your group set the pace and explore the landscape on foot.
Spend a day among the Needles, with a hike toward Chesler Park and its broad meadow ringed by sandstone spires via the narrow Joint Trail. On the final day, take in the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers and fit in more short hikes before the return route crosses rugged landmarks including Elephant Hill. This Moab Canyonlands hiking and camping tour combines guided backcountry driving, flexible hiking, meals, and nights under the stars. Bring your camera and get ready to experience Canyonlands beyond the usual viewpoints.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.77 from 1,746 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Moab
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.9. Top 13% in Moab means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in Moab by this score.
