Adventure Tips

Start on easier trails

If you’re new to ATVs, begin with flatter trails near the dunes before tackling steep climbs to build confidence safely.

Wear appropriate eye protection

Sand and dust kick up quickly, so goggles or glasses are essential to keep your vision clear on the trail.

Watch for sudden dune drops and soft sand

Keep speed moderate and be alert for hidden ruts or soft patches that can cause loss of control.

Respect seasonal closures

Check trail conditions before your ride—certain areas close seasonally to protect wildlife habitat and vegetation.
