River Expeditions
In the Needles area of the national park, discover an amazing desert landscape of stacked boulders, soaring spires and dramatic color. Intriguing canyons meander for miles throughout the park and entice hikers into the backcountry for days at a time. The rock layers exhibit colorful bands that seem to change hue with each movement of the sun. Narrow cracks between spires of rock provide challenge and excitement for hikers as they navigate the trails. And hidden in the canyons of the Needles is one of the largest concentrations of Native American rock art and ruins in the entire Southwest. Come off road with Tag-A-Long to explore.
