  • Canyonlands National Park, Utah, United States
    Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah is known for its dramatic desert landscape carved by the Colorado River. Island in the Sky is a huge, flat-topped mesa with panoramic overlooks. Other notable areas include the towering rock pinnacles known as the Needles, the remote canyons of the Maze, and the Native American rock paintings in Horseshoe Canyon. Whitewater rapids flow through Cataract Canyon. Note: This 62+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Canyonlands National Park in 2-3 hours.
    10 minutes
  • Cataract Canyon, Utah, United States
    Cataract Canyon is a 46-mile-long canyon of the Colorado River located within Canyonlands National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in southern Utah.
  • Green River Overlook, Utah, United States
    The Green River Overlook offers some of the most unique views of Canyonland’s Island in the Sky District. You’re able to see the Green River continuing its work on the canyon walls. The river is the largest stream in Utah at 730 miles. The name probably comes from the green soapstone that can be found along its banks.
    10 minutes
  • Island in the Sky, Utah, United States
    Stop by the Visitor Center coming up ahead. It’s a great place to grab supplies, use the bathroom, and fill up your water bottles. As you’ve already seen, this park doesn’t have much infrastructure, and being dehydrated out here is no joke.
    10 minutes
  • Dead Horse Point State Park, Moab, Utah, United States
    Dead Horse Point — it’s a creepy name, isn’t it? According to local legend, wild mustangs used to be corralled here to be broken in the early 1800s. Once all the desirable horses had been broken and claimed by the cowboys, the undesirables were left to go free.
    10 minutes
  • Corona Arch, Moab, Utah, United States
    Corona Arch is a natural sandstone arch near Moab. The arch is located within the same rock formation as Pinto Arch and Bowtie Arch.
  • Shafer Canyon Overlook, Utah, United States
    This overlook offers views from three sides. It may be a bit daunting if you're afraid of heights since there’s nothing between you and the Canyon. However, the incredible view is worth it.
    10 minutes
  • Utah, USA
    Coming up on your left is a turn out for Plateau Viewpoint. Pullover if you want photos of some spectacular views! There’s also a handicap accessible toilet and an information panel on anthropological work in the area.
    10 minutes
  • White Rim, Utah 84532, USA
    In such a beautiful landscape, you can’t escape the lure of exploring off the beaten path. But watch out! If you do go off the path, you might be trampling on soil that’s alive. You might think I’m joking, but throughout Canyonlands, Arches, and Moab is something called a biological soil crust.
    10 minutes
  • Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations, Utah, United States
    Look to the right. All you can see at the moment are tall rock walls. That’s because we’re near the floor of Sevenmile Canyon. As we continue to drive, we’ll emerge from the canyon and be able to see two very distinct features in the distance to the right -- the Merrimac and the Monitor.
    10 minutes
  • The Neck, Utah 84532, USA
    The area we’re traveling over is known as the Neck. Why? Well, remember that this Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands is a huge mesa surrounded by lowlands. Well, there’s a strip of land that connects this mesa to other mesas — just like a natural bridge!
    10 minutes
  • Lathrop Canyon, Utah, United States
    A lot of natural landmarks and trails in Canyonlands are named by or after cowboys and ranchers. In fact, Ned Chaffin’s father and one of his brothers had a spring named after them.
    10 minutes
  • Utah, USA
    Coming up on your right is Big Mesa Viewpoint. Pause for a quick look at some stunning scenery. The enormous mesa looks like it was plonked down here by accident, and then forgotten.
    5 minutes
  • Aztec Butte Trail, Utah, United States
    What makes this trail special? Simple: the granaries left here by Native peoples. They’re visible from the base of the last hill if you just keep your eyes open. These granaries are hundreds of years old, so be careful when approaching.
    5 minutes
  • Whale Rock, Utah, United States
    In front of you is perhaps the world’s largest whale. Don’t see it? The whale’s head is on the left side of the rock. There’s an easy one-mile hike that takes you up along the whale’s back. When you get on top of this cetacean, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Upheaval Dome.
    10 minutes
  • Mesa Arch, Utah, United States
    Ahead, pull over for Mesa Arch. This is a must-do at Canyonlands. Once you’ve parked, walk along the short trail to the arch. As you walk, notice the juniper and pinyon trees around you. These are popular in Canyonlands so keep an eye out for them elsewhere too.
    10 minutes
  • Candlestick Tower Overlook, Utah, United States
    In the distance, do you see three giant candles sticking out of the landscape? That’s Candlestick Tower! Doesn’t this sandstone formation look like a layered birthday cake, topped with candles? * The bottom layer is white, the middle a reddish-brown, and the top is red.
    5 minutes
  • Horse State Park, Moab, UT 84532, USA
    Despite being relatively small, there’s a lot to do here. First, what might catch your eye is the overlook itself, which has a view of the Colorado River. There’s also a cafe to reenergize.
    5 minutes
  • Buck Canyon Overlook, Utah, United States
    Here you’ll see spectacular views of Buck Canyon and the La Sal mountains. The short trail is paved, making it one of the most accessible places in the park. There’s also a rail that stands between you and the canyon, so if you are scared of heights, this overlook is perfect for you.
    5 minutes
  • White Rim Overlook Trail, Utah, United States
    This is a great place to rest and enjoy a quick meal! There are only eight tables, so be sure to claim one if there are any available.
    5 minutes
  • Orange Cliffs Overlook, Utah, United States
    The cowboys used the Orange Cliffs extensively. They called a part of these cliffs “Under the Ledge” — since it was a distinct area that sorta appeared to be underneath a huge, rocky ledge.
    5 minutes
  • Grand View Point Overlook, Utah, United States
    We’re now at the end of the Canyonlands National Park tour. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey! If you enjoyed the tour, check out our other tours of nearby Arches, Bryce, Zion, and more!
    5 minutes
  • Upheaval Dome, Utah, United States
    Remember how the park’s rocks have been formed in layers? In most of the park, these layers haven’t been disrupted since their formation. What you see is what was deposited, all those hundreds of millions of years ago.
    5 minutes
  • Murphy Point Trail, Utah, United States
    The trail that leads to Murphy Point Overlook is quite easy, adding up to 3.5 miles roundtrip. While the hike itself doesn’t offer much in the way of scenery, the overlook provides a stunning view of Stillwater Canyon and the Green River.

Had issues downloading the tour guide (not the app) into my phone. Customer service told me to download into another device, which I did in my iPad. It was successfully downloaded. When we started the tour per instructions, I expected the audio to automatically start wherever our location was. It failed. I had to play the audio manually at every point, until it was too bothersome so we stopped playing it. My iPad does not have a phone line so I used my phones personal hotspot but it still didn’t work as it should.

Not worth $16, more like $6 for the few stories. All you are doing is following the road which doesn't require the guide. I would not recommend buying this for the price charged.

This is our second national park we've explored with Action Tour Guide. We enjoy the list of highlights (must see's) and history lessons that accompany us throughout our trip. This is a great option for someone who might have limited time. We downloaded prior to arrival without issues. There were some areas, that the posted speed limit, was faster than the narrative, and sections were missed. Thankfully, the park wasn't that busy, so we were able to drive a little slower to match the app speed.
