Just east of Hurricane, Utah, Off the Grid 4x4 Tours offers one of Southern Utah’s rare desert waterfall experiences with their Upper Toquerville Falls Jeep Tour. This 2.5 to 3-hour guided vehicle adventure carves through classic red rock desert terrain—think sandy washes, rugged rocky ledges, and expansive canyon vistas—before delivering guests to a stunning double-tiered waterfall fed by a natural spring.
Toquerville Falls stands out in this arid environment as a refreshing oasis, with cool pools perfect for swimming or lounging after the dusty off-road drive. The contrast between the desert’s warm rust tones and the vivid blue-green water creates an unforgettable photo opportunity. Guests travel within their own vehicle, accompanied by a private guide who navigates and shares insights on the unique geology and flora thriving in this high desert setting.
Off the Grid 4x4 Tours builds its reputation on blending adventure with comfort and safety, catering to both novices and more experienced drivers. For those wanting an adrenaline boost, upgraded routes include more technical ledges and challenging terrain, such as the notoriously demanding Rattlesnake Gulch crawl.
This tour is a standout within Utah’s robust outdoor recreation scene because it combines off-roading thrills with a rare natural water feature, something few desert trips can offer. The combination of remote Jeep trail driving and the swim-ready waterfall makes it a perfect half-day immersion into Southern Utah’s rugged beauty.
