Sand Mountain Rush: 2-Hour Private ATV Tour in Sand Hollow | Private | ATV/UTV

Sand Mountain - 2 Hour Private Tour launches from Old Rd in Hurricane, Utah, and sends riders into the rolling dunes and red-rock panoramas of Sand Hollow State Park. This two-hour private ATV tour threads fast-paced rippled sand with dramatic overlooks: Hop from dune crests into Box Canyon, carve a sharp bend at Horseshoe Bend, climb the viewpoint known as Top of the World, and pose at Mad Moose Rock—the signature photo stop that gives the route its local personality. The terrain changes quickly. Wide dunes of windblown quartz sand meet exposed sandstone benches carved by eons of water and wind; low-growing desert plants—sagebrush, juniper, and patches of yucca—dot the slopes and introduce color to the beige and rust palette. Guides with Mad Moose lead the way, handing drivers helmets and goggles, briefing safety procedures, then opening the throttle on machines calibrated for sand and canyon tracks. Along the route you’ll cross ripary washes and sightlines that frame distant Hurricane Valley and the deep blue of Sand Hollow Reservoir. What makes this tour special is the mix: high-adrenaline riding across technical dune faces balanced with short viewpoint stops that invite slow, wide-angle photography. The private format means your group can tailor pace and skill level; families and skilled riders alike can enjoy loops, creative climbs, and the handful of narrow ledges that test nerve while offering sweeping panoramas. The company supplies vehicles, helmets, goggles, a premium damage waiver, bottled water, and a digital map with local recommendations; a damage deposit and mandatory gas charge apply. Practicalities matter. Check-in is at Old Rd, Hurricane, UT 84737 thirty minutes before launch time. Drivers must be 18 with a valid license to rent most UTVs; passengers need to be at least 42 inches tall. The site sits an hour from Las Vegas by road, so plan logistics and timing accordingly. Bring sunscreen, layered clothes for cool mornings and hot afternoons, and a charged phone for on-trail navigation and photos. For visitors to Southern Utah looking to add speed to their sightseeing, this tour stitches together some of the area’s most cinematic geology without the crowds of larger parks. It’s a short, concentrated rush of dunes, canyon rims, and a local landmark—Mad Moose Rock—that makes Sand Mountain a standout day trip from Hurricane. Expect variable traction and dust; maintain a safe following distance and follow your guide’s signals. The tour’s rhythm—short bursts of full-throttle fun punctuated by viewpoint stops—lets even novice drivers taste off-road riding without committing to a full-day excursion. After the ride, consult the digital map for nearby water access at Sand Hollow Reservoir, picnic spots, or options to extend your adventure with UTV rentals, boats, or jet skis with the operator.
