GUIDED TOWERS

THE FISHER TOWERS

The Fisher Towers are located in between Grand Junction and Moab and are one of the more unique landscapes on Earth. Here we can find a variety of Moon looking towers and hoodoos full of beauty, mystery and incredible geology. The most popular is Ancient Art and the taller one is the Titan (900 feet). Here we offer you 3 enjoyable routes in 3 beautiful towers surrounded by the most incredible landscape in the desert. ​
