Portal's Private Scenic Jeep Tour is created for guests who want to explore the remarkable landscapes beyond Moab's paved roads without making extreme obstacles the focus of the day. The experience combines comfortable backcountry travel, local interpretation, panoramic viewpoints, and frequent opportunities to step out, look around, and capture the scenery.
Your guide selects a route based on seasonal access, weather, lighting, group interests, and the amount of adventure you prefer. Possible destinations include Gemini Bridges, Long Canyon, Potash Road, Hurrah Pass, Chicken Corners, Onion Creek, the La Sal Mountain area, and other lesser-known routes that reveal a different side of the Moab region. Along the way, you may see towering canyon walls, natural bridges, Colorado River views, petroglyph panels, dinosaur tracks, historic mining remnants, and broad desert vistas framed by the La Sal Mountains.
The pace is intentionally flexible. There is time to stop at overlooks, discuss the landscape, take family portraits, photograph geological formations, or simply enjoy the quiet of the desert. Your guide can explain how water, wind, uplift, and erosion shaped the sandstone cliffs and canyons while also sharing stories about the people, trails, and industries that influenced the area.
Although the route may include uneven roads, mild ledges, sandy sections, and authentic four-wheel-drive terrain, it is planned around scenery rather than technical difficulty. This makes the tour an excellent option for families, first-time visitors, senior travelers, photographers, couples, and guests who may be unsure about the steeper slickrock experiences.
Every departure is private, allowing Portal to adjust the route, stops, and rhythm of the tour around your group. The result is a personal introduction to Moab's backcountry that feels relaxed, informative, visually spectacular, and far removed from a conventional sightseeing drive.
Families, photographers, first-time visitors, senior travelers, couples, nervous riders, and guests who value scenery, local history, and a comfortable private pace over technical rock crawling.
