About This Tour

A private tour for your group only — real Mesa Arch, Upheaval Dome, and Aztec Butte Trail, in Canyonlands' Island in the Sky district. This is a truly private tour for your group only, with a real, dedicated private guide. Real stops include Mesa Arch, Upheaval Dome, and the Aztec Butte Trail, in the Island in the Sky district.

Mesa Arch is what geologists call a pothole arch — formed when a shallow depression on top of a rock mass slowly merged with an alcove eroding into the cliff face below, rather than from the more typical slow narrowing of a sandstone fin. Just 27 feet long and perched right on the edge of a 500-foot cliff above Buck Canyon, with the La Sal Mountains rising in the distance, it's become one of the most photographed natural arches in the American Southwest — famous for the brief window around sunrise when reflected light turns the underside of the arch a deep, glowing orange.

Upheaval Dome, about 22 miles southwest of Moab within Island in the Sky, has puzzled geologists for decades. For years scientists debated whether it was pushed up by a dome of ancient salt rising beneath the sandstone, or punched into the ground by a meteorite. Tiny grains of "shocked quartz" — quartz crystals whose internal structure was altered by extreme pressure — found at the site have tipped most current research toward the impact theory, with the strike itself estimated at roughly 60 million years old, though a vocal minority of geologists still argue for the salt-dome explanation.

The one-mile round-trip Aztec Butte Trail climbs about 200 feet up slickrock to the flat top of an isolated butte, where alcoves tucked into the pale Navajo sandstone hold small granaries built by Ancestral Puebloan people. They're among the few ancient relics found on this dry, exposed plateau between the Green and Colorado Rivers — most settlement in the area clustered much closer to reliable water sources lower down, and these granaries represent trips made up onto the mesa specifically to cache food. They're federally protected, so the trail keeps a respectful distance rather than allowing anyone to enter or touch them.

All three stops sit within Canyonlands' Island in the Sky district, a broad mesa resting around 6,000 feet above sea level and connected to the surrounding plateau only by a narrow land bridge known as the Neck. From its rim, cliffs drop 1,000 to 2,000 feet to canyons carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers, exposing roughly 150 million years of stacked sedimentary rock in the walls below.
