Select participants and date
The engine growls before the desert does. You climb into a two-seat Can‑Am 1000, strap a helmet on, and the scrubby Mojave landscape pushes up against the windows like a living map—jagged ridgelines, iron-stained washes, and a sky so wide it feels like an instruction.

Adventure Tips
Book for your vehicle size
Each booking covers one two-seat UTV (up to 2 people); for 4 people reserve two packages so everyone has a seat.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Bring a reusable water bottle and high‑SPF sunscreen—desert sun and wind dehydrate quickly even on short trips.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking boots improve foothold in the vehicle and while stepping on/off uneven ground.
Listen to the guide
Guides tailor routes to skill level; follow instructions for safe passing lines and sudden terrain changes.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Desert cottontail and jackrabbits
- Ravens and red‑tailed hawks circling thermals
History
The region is part of the Basin and Range landscape with histories of Hualapai habitation and later mining and ranching that shaped routes and relics visible today.
Conservation
Stay on established tracks to protect fragile desert soils and cryptobiotic crust; pack out all trash and use provided water rather than disturbing local water sources.
