Details

Moab, Utah, sits at the crossroads of dramatic canyons, towering sandstone fins, and uncompromising deserts. It’s a world-class off-roading playground where every turn brings new challenges and jaw-dropping views. Grand Company anchors its fleet here, offering some of the most authentic Jeep tours across iconic trails like Hell’s Revenge and Fins & Things—a rugged landscape carved by the Colorado River that has been drawing adventurers for decades.

The Hell’s Revenge trail is legendary, famed for its slickrock climbs and steep drops that test vehicles and drivers alike. Grand Company’s private Jeep tours on this route let you tackle Beast 2, a particularly demanding section that’s perfect for drivers who want to push their limits. For those preferring more hands-on involvement without the pressure, their U-Drive tours offer a chance to pilot a fully equipped Jeep on a 4-hour Hell’s Revenge and Fins & Things circuit. This combination includes technical slickrock surfaces, off-camber ledges, and panoramic overlooks, giving you a genuine Moab off-road experience.

What sets Grand Company apart is their commitment to safety, expert local guides, and top-tier Jeeps that handle the unique terrain effortlessly. Their Rock Buggy Tours add a fun twist, providing nimble rides on less intense paths around the same sandstone formations, great for those wanting to soak in the desert’s raw geology without the adrenaline spike.

The region’s distinctive Navajo Sandstone shaped by ancient seas stands massive and glowing red-orange, flanked by sparse desert flora and the occasional desert bighorn sheep. Grand Company operates right in the heart of this outdoor hub, making them a key part of what makes Moab a premier adventure destination for off-roaders and outdoor lovers looking for hands-on desert thrills.

Adventure Tips

Wear sturdy shoes with good grip

Even though you’re in a Jeep, you'll be stepping on slickrock and uneven surfaces at stops.

Bring plenty of water

Utah’s desert climate and physical activity can dehydrate you quickly—plan for at least one gallon per person per day.

Know your limits when driving

U-Drive tours require off-road driving skills; be honest about your experience to ensure safety on technical sections.

Sun protection is a must

Use sunscreen, wear a wide-brimmed hat, and bring sunglasses to protect against intense sun and glare on sandstone.
