Desert Highlights is Moab's original canyoneering guide service. This half day canyoneering tour visits a route that Desert Highlights' founder created as a technical guided canyoneering route in the late 1990's. Here, we explore an area that most people would not visit on their own. With the use of ropes and other technical gear, a competent guide and a sense of adventure, we are able to explore areas that are otherwise inaccessible. The Moab desert is our home and we are passionate about sharing it with others. During your guided tour, you will not only safely descend a beautiful, water-carved canyon, but you will learn about the flora and fauna, geology and history of the area that we are so lucky to call our backyard.

Experience a private desert sunset and watch the last of the light kiss the night atop a secluded high cliff inside Arches National Park. Our hidden sunset location offers a way to experience the most special moment of the day away from the massive park crowds in a way that few visitors do. Beyond and high above Landscape Arch lies an enchanted area, one of the most magical places in the park. Your visit to the upper reaches of the Devil’s Garden requires a short, but steep climb up a picturesque sandstone fin (could be an issue for some with a fear of heights or range of motion issues). Part of the hike takes place after sunset with limited natural light. In June and July the sun sets behind a rock and cannot be viewed directly from the overlook, however, that does not take away from the uniqueness of this hike. ***Please note that we do not sell our products directly on "Cool Destinations".
