Overview

Truly unique and beautiful places to visit, this tour covers some of the top hidden gems of Utah that most visitors to the Capitol Reef area miss out on. Bentonite Hills, Moonscape Overlook and Factory Butte have gained popularity through Instagram but remain lightly visited.

Amazing vast lunar and Martian landscapes guaranteed to be a highlight of your time here. A professional guide will maximize your time and knowledge and get you to the great spots and back quickly and safely.

These areas provide superb photo opportunities especially at sunrise or during the blue hours, if you have a drone you can get some remarkable footage of the Bentonite Hills, the tour area is out of the National Park so drone use is allowed.

This tour will definitely be one you remember and talk about for years to come, the geology is so unique you may not see it anywhere else.
