The little dinosaur footprint area was cool for 10 minutes. After two big hiking days at Arches, our kids were bored with the long car stops and short walks to viewpoints. If we did it again we would split Canyonlands across multiple half-days instead of one full day, or just accept it's more of a scenic-drive park with children.

The only saving grace from this experience was our guide, who was friendly and funny. But for her,…read morethis would be a zero-star review. The best thing about the dinner was either the Italian salad dressing or the Diet Coke. The rest of the food, while edible, was neither served hot nor particularly tasty. As for the light show, that was a complete, utter joke. The light show consisted of a pickup truck slowly driving beside the boat and illuminating the canyon walls with a bright white light. Seriously!! The "show" reminded me of a 7th grade history/science lesson as a 1970s / 1980s teacher might have done it. "Bored to tears" comes to mind describing this experience. By the end, all I could think was "Well, those are three hours of my life that I can never have back." EXTREMELY disappointed with every aspect of this experience. NEVER again!!

When I…read morewas invited to come out this way for a friends wedding, I began thinking of what adventures I can could fit into the trip. I pondered on base jumping, off roading, flying... but then I read about canoe camping through Tex's Riverways and the choice was obvious!! From the first phone call to their office and speaking with Claire, I knew I made the right decision. They provided me with the choice of a 15' or 17' foot Grumman canoe or a kayak, and I went with my personal fave, the 15' footer. They also provided me with shuttle to the launch site, paddles, emergency flotation, advice on possible camping areas and hikes, and an emergency number for the parks rescue team. I purchased a map and rented a portable camping toilet. Aside from the above, you're pretty much on your own, which I loved lol. Yes, I decided to go canoe camping solo for 3 days and 2 nights. And indeed, it was a true test of my mental and physically abilities in every way. I feel grateful for the experience and was in complete awe of Mother Nature the entire time. Through the intense winds of the first day, paddling against the current to backtrack to the only feasible campsite for miles, starting my own fires with sunburnt fingers and 15+ miles of paddling in total, I truly felt alive. And the only times I used my cell phone were to take photos or to sent satellite texts to my loved ones to give them periodic updates. Ahh what a feeling to be disconnected from everything and to be present in the moment. I highly recommend this to everyone, though with caution and knowing your own limits and abilities. On second though, I highly recommend you go with a group and a guide, unless confident in your paddling and navigation skills!

We were a family of 6 ranging in age from 5 to 60+, and every single one of us had an absolute blast. The experience was equal parts thrilling, scenic, and just plain fun. Even our youngest handled it like a champ, and the views along the trail were incredible. One of us started out completely petrified (like, *white-knuckle, questioning life choices* level ), but our guide Chad was amazing. He was calm, reassuring, and clearly very experienced--he put us at ease quickly and turned fear into excitement by the end. If you're in Moab and even *thinking* about doing Hell's Revenge--DO IT. And ask for Chad if you can. This was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip!

Our tour guide Bill was great, he was very friendly, informative, and even supplied a GoPro accessory that went on the hood of the Jeep Wrangler to get footage from the Jeeps perspective without having to film from the inside of the car. We did the four hour Arches National Park Tour starting at 12:30PM. The main entrance was extremely packed so Bill took us through the off-road entrance which was a very cool experience. We then explored throughout the park and did a lot of the off-road parts such as the silver steps (Herdina Park Road). We saw many different arches and landmarks throughout these 4 hours and knew exactly what we would do the next day to fully complete our Arches National Park Experience. Highly recommend this tour as a first day at Arches type of thing or even the Needles section of Canyonlands (from what I hear). Thanks Bill for an epic tour experience!

He is full of information and a great storyteller. Our group ranged from 8 years old to people in their 80s with different astronomy backgrounds and Alex was able to keep it engaging and entertaining for everyone. My 8 year old is now planning his science fair project from something that he learned from Alex! It's important to be flexible as weather doesn't always cooperate. We thought we had the perfect plan since it was new moon but it turned out to be cloudy and windy on most of the nights we were in Moab. Alex tried his best to reschedule us for the better forecasted days and he chose a spot that was shielded from the winds. There were still some clouds on the night we went but he shuffled his plans aroundto show us things that were not covered. We saw star clusters, nebulas, and planets on his telescope but the highlight was seeing Jupiter and its moons high resolution. He was patient and gave everyone time to adjust their eyes on the telescope to made sure everyone saw each object. He encouraged questions and comments so it was engaging. I would definitely do this again next time if I had even more time in Southern Utah.

Everyone got as much time as they wanted looking through the telescope. It was set up with an auto tracker and he provided a stool that allowed everyone to look through it comfortably. For my daughter, the highlight was also the finale - a certain large planet that she loves. Highly recommended.

From their place to the river, we did one of their raft tours, with 2 other couples we met there, and Josh, our guide. From beginning to end, Josh had a lot of information and history to share with us, and he made everything interesting and fun. He enjoyed answering questions, sharing his knowledge with us, and taking all the pictures we wanted. We even stopped for a quick hike on our tour (and those that didn't want to join were welcomed to stay on the raft). This was an amazing way to see a lot in a "short time" and learn.

It's a nice spot with plenty of last minute necessary's like sunscreen. Within minutes of rallying our group of 6 we were off to the launch point for the tour with our motorized blowup boat. We had a stop along the way at the great wall to see hieroglyphics. The boat ride was great, with information on spots and stories as well. Our guide Josh was excellent.

Lunch was easy - they set up super quick - caesar salad wraps, waters/juices, chips, chicken salad, and Oreos. Some of my favorite parts was the fact that ALL the guides and bus driver were all young women. I loved that my kids saw these women do all the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively) and think it sets an awesome example to my son and young daughter. A few days later as we drove out of Moab, we drove down the same 10-15 miles of road we took on the bus. I didn't realize how much my kids had absorbed during the bus ride, but they rattled off all the facts, stories and sites that the guide had shared on our way to rafting.
