BEST! Catacomb *CAVES* U-Drive 4X4 UTV Tour in Moab +Petroglyphs!

Catacomb Rock is the star here: a natural maze of sandstone caves, narrow passages, and openings above Moab’s red-rock country. You drive your own UTV along the Chicken Corners Trail, then leave the vehicle to explore the rock on foot. The caves feel like a desert playground, but the drive can include narrow, exposed turns that demand steady attention.

I like the mix of hands-on driving and cave exploring, and I like that the tour gives you more than a quick ride through the desert. Guides including Tom, Jess, Joni, John, and Dusty add useful context about the caves and petroglyphs. The tradeoff is dust, noise, and some intimidating trail sections, even on this route, which is described as the easy option.
