Adventure Tips
Bring your valid US driver’s license and insurance
Participants must be 21+ with a US driver’s license and full coverage insurance to operate the jeep safely on all trails.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
The rocky terrain demands footwear that provides good grip and ankle support to prevent slips during stops and walking.
Start early or late in the day
Midday heat can be intense; morning or late afternoon drives offer cooler temperatures and better lighting for photography.
Stay hydrated with provided bottled water
Off-roading can be physically demanding—drink plenty of water before and during the tour to avoid dehydration.
