Wind Caves/Catacomb Rock & Hurrah Pass Backcountry Off-Road Tour
Get ready to explore Moab’s wild side on a backcountry journey packed with striking geology, off-road thrills, and unforgettable desert views.
Wind Caves/Catacomb Rock – Step inside sandstone alcoves sculpted by centuries of wind, where smooth curves and natural textures create a photographer’s dream. Discover this massive formation full of pockets, shadows, and unique shapes that spark the imagination.
Hurrah Pass – Climb along rugged slickrock and sandy trails to a breathtaking overlook where the Colorado River winds far below.
Special Surprise (select tours only): On some tours, as we explore the caves, your guide Andy brings the magic with a fire-dancing performance—a dazzling swirl of flames against the red rock backdrop, while in complete darkness. While not available on every tour, it’s an unforgettable treat when it happens.
Whether you come for the off-road adventure, the stunning landscapes, or the chance to see the desert glow with firelight, this tour will leave you with memories worth sharing.
📸 Optional add-on: Professional photography to capture your journey.
