About
Get ready for a truly unique off road driving experience! Get behind the wheel of your UTV after the sun goes down and set out along our amazing desert trails. Your tour will include incredible driving over changing terrain while your guide highlights amazing features with our custom lighting. Summer nights in the desert are truly remarkable, and the experience is something you wont soon forget! Plan on a “lights off” stop to enjoy some incredible stargazing before making your way back to civilization. Because of the changing moonlight and weather throughout the season, the experience is different every night. New Moon and low moonlight nights will offer the best stargazing, while Full Moon nights offer an opportunity to “see in the dark.” We can assure you the experience is Epic in all conditions!
