Moonscape and Factory Butte tour

The Factory Butte and Skyline Overview (Moonscape overlook), a region formerly known to only locals and insiders which now has become increasingly popular and desired due to its otherworldly beauty and its increased visibility on popular social media posts. The Factory Butte region is located in the remote desert of the San Rafael Swell that is more safely & easily accessible with a knowledgeable guide and a capable, comfortable luxury off-road vehicle. Guest will be transported to the region by a guide with over a decade of experience exploring and photographing these rather exclusive places who will comfortably get them there whether for those epic photos or just a sightseeing experience rivaled by few places on Earth. 
Your tour guide will pick you up at your hotel or Airbnb in the Torrey or Teasdale areas. The route to Moonscape will take you across the entire Capitol Reef; during the first hour you will marvel at about 100 million years of geological formations that make this region so beautiful and diverse in vistas. At Caineville we will turn onto Factory Butte Road, where the off-road portion of the trip begins. We will first stop at Moonscape Overlook, the main feature of this destination. You will marvel at the pillars carved from the remnant of an ancient ocean and see marine fossils exposed right there on the rim. On our way out, guests can opt to stop at the closest point to take a closer look at the majestic Factory Butte.

The guest will then be transported back to their original pickup point. 

Please NOTE: All tours are private. Because Capitol Reef and the surrounding areas are remote and not widely known, they do not receive the same commercial visitor traffic as more accessible parks, making public group departures impractical. For this reason tours are offered only as private charters; solo travelers are required to reserve two seats.
