Private Colorado National Monument
Scenic Tour from Grand Junction, CO
Sheer sandstone cliffs, winding tunnels and wide-open canyon views, just outside Grand Junction. Settle into your private Sierra EV Denali for the drive, then step out at agreed overlooks to take it all in.
You don’t need to know all the overlooks. We can suggest popular Rim Rock Drive stops and help shape a four- or six-hour outing around the views and experiences you enjoy.
Your private driver. Your chosen stops. Up to 4 guests.
Private transportation, not a guided tour. We can help plan your stops; you explore independently.

Rim Rock Drive
Follow the scenic road through red-rock canyons, tunnels and high desert landscapes. Its 23-mile route offers a different perspective around every bend.
A view worth stopping for
Choose from overlooks such as Cold Shivers Point, Ute Canyon, Independence Monument View and Grand View. We agree the stops and timing before setting out.
A little time to explore
Browse the visitor center when open, take photos or enjoy a short walk on your own. Bighorn sheep and birds may appear along the way, though sightings are never guaranteed.
Let’s shape your day.
We’ll handle the driving.
Choose four hours for a focused scenic escape or six hours for more time at the places you enjoy. Both packages give you the full reserved time from pickup to drop-off, including the drive and your chosen stops. Your address, chosen stops and park-road conditions shape what fits.

Is the Monument outing a guided tour?
This is private transportation for a scenic day. Your driver handles the agreed route and meeting points while you enjoy the overlooks and visitor center independently. Guided park interpretation is not part of the service.
Can you help us choose Monument overlooks?
Yes. You do not need to arrive with an itinerary. We can suggest popular stops such as Cold Shivers Point, Ute Canyon, Independence Monument View, Grand View and Fruita Canyon. Tell us whether you prefer photography, short walks or mostly enjoying the drive, and we will help choose stops that fit your time and current access.
Do we have to hike to enjoy the Monument?
No hike is required. You can enjoy the drive and choose short stops. Overlook paths and accessibility vary, so share any mobility needs before booking and we will review suitable stops together.
Should we choose the four-hour or six-hour Monument package?
The four-hour package is $400 and suits a focused scenic drive with selected overlooks. The six-hour package is $600 and leaves more room for photographs, a visitor-center visit, a picnic or independent walking. Both give your group the full four or six hours from pickup to drop-off, including driving, agreed stops and the return journey.
Is the Monument entrance fee included?
Park admission and any required commercial access fees may be additional. Applicable access arrangements and charges are reviewed for your itinerary before you confirm the outing.
Can we stop for wildlife or sunset photographs?
Tell us what you hope to photograph and your preferred timing. We can plan suitable authorized stopping places around daylight and park access. Wildlife sightings and particular sunset conditions cannot be promised.
Can you pick us up in Fruita or Palisade?
Those pickups can be considered along with Grand Junction addresses. Send your hotel or street address and return location; the extra driving may require a longer package or an additional agreed charge.
What happens if Rim Rock Drive has snow or a closure?
Park-road conditions are checked when planning the trip. Snow, ice or a closure can change which overlooks are accessible. The driver will discuss an adjusted plan or rescheduling before proceeding.
