Shafer Trail - Canyonlands Thrill Ride!
Awesome experience, our guide was the best! I would highly recommend this jeep tour thru Adrift Adventures in Moab. The jeep was very comfortable for the experience and started out very clean…not so much at the end if the adventure!

Geddy’s the Best!
Geddy our tour guide was amazing! Felt safe at all times. He offered us a bit of thrill, stories, history, and FUN! So glad we chose this method to tour Canyonlands! I will never pass over a cattleguard again without thinking of Geddy and checking for Trolls! Thanks for a great experience!

Best of Canyonlands
Mick was a great guide. We saw the best of Canyonlands on gravel roads that should only be done in a 4X4 vehicle. Great tour. Highly recommended.
