West Rim tours traverse Sand Hollow slickrock with customizable challenges like The Funnel and The Steps, and an optional West Rim + Maze upgrade that adds extreme cliffside crawls and steep drops. East Side Memorial tours combine slickrock climbs and sandhills with a veterans’ tribute trail created by local veterans; these run about 3 to 4 hours.

Warner Valley tours cover desert landscapes, include historical stops such as Fort Pearce, access to Sand Hollow Lake, and hikes to dinosaur tracks, with an optional Honeymoon Trail Extension for rugged climbs and vistas.
