Great Day in Capitol Reef NP - Mel was a great host, and we are so glad he was doing the driving. The tour gave us an opportunity to see the backcountry high desert region of Capitol Reef NP, including the Cathedral Valley. Wonderful day spent in the park. Glenn & Margie

Great experience - Great tour of the areas of Capital Reef you just can’t see without a 4x4. Picked up at our lodging and on a dirt road within minutes to experience sunrise at Temple of the Sun. Very knowledgeable and personalized to stop and take pictures where we wanted. Thanks for the great tour!

Great Adventure! - What a fun afternoon! Jenny was fabulous! We saw so many amazing sights and laughed and learned all day! Moonscape’s beauty took our breath away, then we traveled to Mars! We learned about seashell fossils and dinosaur bone fragments, and climbed Dolomite hills. Jenny was a gracious and enthusiastic guide! We had a blast!

Cathedral towers - We had a wonderful tour guide, who incorporated stories with local sites, fauna, and geology. I hope to schedule other tours with him.

OUTSTANDING Full day tour of Cathedral Valley in Capital Reef Nat'l Park - Cathedral Valley Loop Tour We booked an 8-hour private tour with Meridian Tours on 23 April to explore this less accessible Cathedral Valley area of Capital Reef Nat’l Park. The tour was about 75 miles long in a beautiful, air-conditioned jeep that went to many different areas. It included a short hike to Temple of the Stars, and several other stops at incredible overlooks and vistas. It also included an optional delicious lunch stop. Mel, our tour guide (and owner), did an OUTSTANDING job showing us all the sights and pointing out many significant sights we would have never seen or appreciated if we tried to do this on our own. He was very personable and easy to understand. He was easy to talk to, answered our many questions as well as provided local history of the Capital Reef area. Mel’s thorough knowledge of geology, and the science behind the creative & erosion forces that created this magnificent place added so much more to this tour. There is so much to see, and Cathedral Valley / Capital Reef Nat’l Park have many significant features that are awe inspiring and likely exist in few places on earth. DO NOT HESITATE to book this tour or other tours directly with Meridian Tours. Meridian also offers unique star gazing tours. Our tour was incredible, and I would say the best tour of this type we have ever experienced. We have toured about 40 National Parks over many years, and this Capital Reef National Park is on par with, and in some respects better, than the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Arches.

No Better Way To Spend A Day - We covered a lot of interesting territory. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and fun to spend time with. We came a way with a very good understanding of what this beautiful part of the country has to offer. I am a red rocks junkie. This country is but far the most interesting.

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!

A MUST to see Capitol Reef back sights - The whole day was filled with one surprise after another of pure beautiful landscape. Photo ops galore. Tour guide was exceptional! Highly recommend the tour and Meridian Tour Co

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.
