Take a self-guided UTV into the Apex OHV area outside Las Vegas for two hours of dunes, rocky washes, and wide desert views. Rentals include training and safety gear; you bring water, sun protection, and route sense.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick the dust off your boots and the desert answers: wind carving ridges into sand, scrub oak hunkered against rocky gullies, and the low, steady thrum of a UTV engine waiting to be unleashed. At the launch gate near Apex’s OHV corridors you get a short briefing, strap on a helmet and goggles, and the open-playground of Nevada spreads out — dunes daring you to pick a line, washes pushing you toward a faster pace.

Hydration pack or 1–2L water bottle
Keeps you hydrated on hot, exposed tracks.
