 Our heart and home for this hiking tour is in Moab, Utah, where we have been operating backcountry adventures for more than 16 years. Join Escape Adventures through the mystical land of the ancient ones where we hike our way through Canyonlands and Arches National Parks! In the very heart of the Colorado Plateau lies Canyonlands National Park, a fantastic tableau of bizarre rock formations and colorful slickrock mesas. Within the park, Cataract Canyon lies at the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers. This is where the three districts of the Park are defined; The Needles, Island In The Sky, and The Maze. Arches National Park embraces one of the largest concentrations of sandstone arches in the world, in excess of 2000 individual formations. Over 100 million years of water and ice erosion, extreme temperature changes, and underground salt movement are responsible for this spectacular landscape! Canyonlands and Arches National Parks are also rich with signs of past human occupation. Native Americans have been present in the area for thousands of years. Archaeological sites, petroglyphs, pictographs, ancient handprints and artifacts such as arrowheads are often discovered or seen within the Parks. It is said that these ancient people inhabited these canyons as far back as 6000 B.C. Most of the sites are found in the alcoves and caves of the cliffs. And along many of our hikes we will see these mystical and often undisturbed sites! This hiking adventure has fairly easy terrain with some mild scrambling which makes a great trip for most anyone!
