What To Expect
Tonto National Forest
You will meet us in the parking area at the trail head, once there you will check in, get kitted with your helmet and goggles, and go over a quick safety briefing so that you feel good about how to operate your vehicle. Once everyone is ready to go you will follow your guide into the off road trails in the Tonto National Forest area where you will ride for 2 hours covering about 20 miles of trail. Your guide will reorder the group after the first 10 minutes to be sure everyone can ride at their own pace, the vehicles can reach speeds of 40 mph, but not everyone likes to go that fast! You will traverse sandy washes and blow up the dust while viewing the beautiful Sonoran Desert scenery. Your guide will periodically stop you to give pointers on the upcoming terrain, make sure you are drinking water, and take photos of everyone in action. After the tour you will return to the starting point where your car will be waiting for you.

5.00Our family enjoyed the tour so much that we came back and did it again! It was great for a family of four with a 6-year-old and an 11-year-old. Communication prior to the tour was very detailed and helpful. Our tour guide, Devin, was amazing! He made sure we were safe and had fun the entire time. We also loved that this was a smaller group tour, and the scenery along the trail was incredible. Our first day started a bit chilly, and Devin came prepared with ponchos and blankets for us. The snacks at the end were also a sweet touch. Highly recommended!
The Best!!!

5.00Feb 22, 2026, one of the most amazing experiences we had touring the dessert. Our guide was upbeat and fun! We not only learned how to navigate the different terrains we also learned some history about the land and nature. Breaks to swap drives and stretch. The guide even took pictures, i do recommend brining your phone for picture taking on breaks or if you are a passenger. Breath taking views, we will be booking again!!! Thank you so much for an awesome experience.
Great fun even for a local who has lived in the desert her whole life!

5.00This was such a fun way to spend Valentines Day! Who needs a nice dinner when you can have a once in a lifetime experience in the beautiful desert. Mitch, our guide, was amazing and made the experience that much more special. I have already recommended it to others and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a fun way to experience the desert up close and personal, this is it.
