About

You haven’t experienced the Bears Ears until you have gotten off the beaten path, either by hiking or 4×4. Your rent-a-car is not going to cut it on this 4×4 only road. So join us in a UTV for an exciting ride along Comb Ridge into the one and only River House Ruin. This two-story ruin is only accessible by 4×4 or from a float down the San Juan. If you have a full day you should float the river and we’ll pick you up in the Hummer so you get both trips in one full day. That full trip is our Kayak Hummer Expedition. However, if you have limited time or just don’t want to get wet this is the best way to see River House + Big Kachina Panel you’ll still have the rest of the day to explore some more!
