One practical note worth flagging: some booking platforms may list these trips under "Moab" even though certain locations are closer to 90 minutes away, so it's worth reading the confirmation details carefully before your trip day. Beyond that, reviewers consistently recommend bringing more water than you think you'll need and wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
