Shannon will share the town's unique history with us, and you'll get a "taste" of life in southern Utah when he and Jenifer cook up a great meal for dinner, complete with "cowboy" entertainment. B, D DAY 7—CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK/MOAB Start the day with the grand mesas, buttes and pinnacles of Escalante National Monument and explore a replica of a six-room, 1,000 A.D. dwelling in an Anasazi Indian Village. Next, we'll admire the radiant cliffs of Capitol Reef National Park—the Navajo called them "sleeping rainbows"—followed by the rock sculptures of Goblin Valley. Tonight, you're free to explore downtown in Moab, where we unpack for the next two nights. B, L DAY 8—ARCHES NATIONAL PARK With more than 1,500 arches, this geographic wonder of the world awaits! No one quite knows why this many sandstone "arches" were formed by nature in this one national park. We have a chance to see and photograph dozens! In the afternoon, relax or take a swim at the hotel or take one of the options below. B, L Choose one option: Option—Jet Boat Cruise This three-hour, 32-mile jet boat ride on a calm stretch of the Colorado River takes you from Canyonland National Park to Dead Horse State Park. Price: $110 per person. Option—Off-Road Hummer Adventure Experience a two-hour "extreme" ride through the beautiful remote back-country.
