Amazing Tour of Cathedral Valley - We did the full day tour of cathedral valley. It was amazing and our guide, Kevin, was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and our whole family learned so much. Kevin pointed us toward some amazing photo opportunities and shared local history spots as well. I would 100% recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Capitol Reef. After having experienced it I would not have wanted to do it on my own even with a proper vehicle and we would have missed out on everything we learned along the way.

An exceptional day! - Wonderful guide Ray took us to spots we never would have seen on our own. We learned a lot about the geological diversity and how things were formed, ate a wonderful lunch, took so many cool pictures, and thoroughly enjoyed a very memorable day of stories, pie and adventure. We highly recommend this tour for all ages!

Amazing way to see the National park - Like any national park, they draw a lot of people. You can cattle car through the chutes and drive the same routes everyone else does or you can get your adventure pants on and take this tour! Our operator Ray was great! We enjoyed our whole day in his company. We learned things about history, about science, about geology and tons of fun facts. The vehicle was very comfortable, we stopped at numerous points and saw some very beautiful things in the back country that you would not know was there without a tour like this. We had a nice picnic on a mountain top, we enjoyed the solitude of the landscape being far less travelled. There were more than national park interests included in our tour and it was just an incredible way to enjoy the day and this park. Highly recommend this for anyone who likes things a little less traditional.
