Additional Information

Cathedral Valley is often a location that invokes queries such as ‘Where is it?’ and ‘Why did I miss it during my visit to Capitol Reef?’

The truth of the matter is, despite its stunning features regularly featuring in promotional content, reaching the area isn’t something suggested for a first-time park visitor in a rented vehicle. Nevertheless, it is a destination staunchly suggested for any tourist desiring a deeper understanding and feeling of Capitol Reef.

  • Not recommended for visually impaired travelers

Beautiful Off-Roads Tour of Capitol Reef - We toured the Cathedral Valley Loop and the northern part of the Capitol Reef. It was absolutely beautiful! Cole, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and did a great job sharing and driving! I would highly recommend this tour due to being able to see amazing parts that not many get to see off roads!

What a fabulous tour! Don’t miss this. - Mel was the absolute best guide. Personable, knowledgeable, and so accommodating to our personal interests. We had a great ride in a Range Rover that was comfortable and safe over the sometimes challenging terrain. We saw so much of Capitol Reef that we would have never seen or even really known about. He knows all about the geology of the region and the flower and fauna. What a terrific day on the all-day adventure. This is a can’t-miss tour that is well-priced and worth every penny.

Absolutely amazing - The entire trip was amazing! Seeing the temple of the sun, temple of the moon and more. Being out in the park and barely see people. The beauty of hearing nothing except your own thoughts! Mel was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Learned a lot about the park and the area.

Highly recommended! - Mel gave us a fabulous tour. He is extremely knowledgeable with geology and provides so much valuable information during the tour. The scenery was stunning and felt very safe at all times. Highly recommend this tour esp to see the park in a way many people don’t get to see.

Best all-day off-road adventure! - My husband and I did the Cathedral Valley all day private tour with Meridian Tours. It was a very easy to book on-line and Jenny texted us all the information needed Our guide Mel picked us up at our hotel with a very comfortable Land Rover that made this offroad trip much more enjoyable because of the rough dirt roads. Mel was a true professional with his driving skills and massive knowledge of the land around him. You could tell how much he loves what he does and really respects the land around him. Mel was also very friendly and made us feel extremely safe and comfortable. He provided an assortment of snacks and water throughout the day. We did buy/bring our own sandwich for lunch that we bought that morning, which he put in a cooler. We would highly recommend this tour company for your offroad adventures in Capital Reef area. They are new company but have been vacationing in the area for many years. Give them a try, I doubt you will be disappointed.
