Combine controlled range time with a guided UTV tour through the Yellow Pine Mining District just outside Las Vegas. Expect firearms instruction, an explosive target, and private desert trails that pass century‑old mine ruins.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light cuts across low, scrubby ridgelines as UTV tires bite into a four‑mile dirt road and the desert wakes under a vast blue. Participants switch from the focused quiet of a shooting line — the sting of recoil, the pop of clay and an explosive target’s distant bloom — into the roar of a single‑seat UTV as it climbs toward weathered mine ruins. It’s a day of calibrated adrenaline: precision at the range, then throttle and line choice on private trails.
