Soaring red stone spires and ancient citadels of rich Navajo sandstone give way to haunting hoodoos and curving arches of rock, a geologist’s and adventurer’s dream come true. Located where the Southern Wasatch Range meets the Colorado plateau, scientists call this a “super-sequence”: a vast series of massive, high altitude islands that rise above the Four Corners region. Welcome to Utah’s Colour Country. Nonetheless scientists aren’t the only ones carried away by this area. Owing to the largest concentration of parklands in North America, plus fast, narrow trails, this is no less than a mountain biker’s paradise, as well.
First Class Camping
There is nothing better than rolling into camp to fresh-made chips and salsa, homemade guacamole, and Dutch oven enchiladas. Then make your way to a sweet and inviting campfire, sharing your favourite anecdote or image from the day’s activities while marshmallows roast. Enjoy a small-batch, local beer before retiring to your tent. Inside: a sturdy raised cot, fluffy sleeping bag, and a plush full-size pillow. Wow. You earned this. Sweet dreams.
The tour operator chooses well-maintained public campgrounds with scenic vistas and comfortable arrangements. You’ll move seamlessly from one day of your trip to the next, camping outdoors and enjoying wildly healthy, delicious homemade meals. The majority of selected campgrounds feature indoor facilities and showers. Conversely, in more remote backcountry camping scenarios, they’ll provide portable toilets and private solar showers.
Camping gear may be rented or you may bring your own. All of the camping gear is tested and hand-chosen from top manufacturers to ensure you get a good night’s sleep. The camp gear package includes a tent, sleeping pad, raised cot, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, full-size pillow, and ground tarp.
