Select participants and date
You meet at a small office in Page, Arizona, where the desert smells of hot iron and sage. Guides hand you a helmet and a pair of goggles, give a quick safety brief, and the low hum of UTV engines replaces the town noise. The ride peels away from pavement into a landscape of slickrock and sandy washes; wind and sun shape the sandstone here, and the vehicle’s suspension eats up hummocks and ruts as easily as a shoe eats grain.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early to check in
Meet 30 minutes before departure to complete waivers and sizing for helmets and goggles.
Protect against sun and glare
Use high-SPF sunscreen, a neck buff, and polarized sunglasses under your goggles; reflected light off sandstone and water intensifies exposure.
Secure loose items
Small items can blow away in the open cabin—use zip pouches or a secure camera strap and keep phones in zipped pockets.
Watch for sudden terrain changes
Sandy washes and slickrock patches shift after storms—follow your guide’s instructions and keep hands inside the vehicle.
