Prescott National Forest
Ponderosa to Goldwater Lake This route is one of our favorites. It has a good mix of get your heart pumping off-road thrills and some of the most picturesque views you'll find. We keep this trip mostly in the tall pines with lots of steep ascents and descents and a few water crossings. We finish up with a 15 minute break at Goldwater lake for pictures and then return to the Square.

We toured Prescott National Forest with Angry Ape Off Road Tours Prescott AZ. Tom was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us an incredible ride through the beautiful Prescott forest. I highly recommend touring with Angry Ape Off Road Tours.

We took the Sierra Prieta & Copper Canyon trip in September 2025, Our guide was Tom, who is also the owner. He is very knowledgeable about the terrain and history of the area. Great views and an enjoyable ride. When we got back, we realized we didn't have our car key fob. We searched our hotel, retraced our steps and had no luck We called Tom and he got back to us right away, found the keys and brought the to us. Thanks Tom!

My husband & I had a fabulous time with John! He was such a knowledgeable and fun guide/driver, and it's clear he's not only intimately familiar with the area but genuinely loves it. We took some wild routes through the forest that our own car would never have survived. While the wildlife wasn't out in abundance, we did see some deer and a wild turkey. This is an excellent tour to experience nature a whole different way. Highly recommend!

ANGRY APE OFF-ROAD TOURS did not disappoint. Tom, the owner knows a thing or two about a thing or two. He was professional and very knowledgeable about all things Prescott, not to mention Tom is an experienced off-roader. He picked us up in one of his H3 vehicles, and let me tell you... I was impressed! That Hummer handled everything the Prescott National Forest threw at it and then some. All the while, Tom didn't spin a wheel/tire the entire trip. The H3 was comfortable, capable, and perfect for our group of 3. We made it to the top of Quartz Mountain with Tom at the wheel, keeping us entertained and safe along the trail. He provided us with refreshments and a photo opportunity on top of the mountain that also included magnificent views! This was one of the best guided tours that I've ever been on. I was fortunate enough to ride shotgun, and Tom kept us all engaged without being overbearing, as he stated, "This is our trip and we can talk as little or as much as we want ". I highly recommend ANGRY APE OFF-ROAD TOURS if you're looking for an awesome Prescott adventure.

We had an incredible off-road adventure through Prescott National Forest! The trails were absolutely stunning, with views that made every turn an exciting discovery. Our guide Tom was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable about Prescott’s history and the area’s unique topography. He kept things fun with his humor and was so friendly and accommodating, even providing drinks along the way. The ride itself was surprisingly comfortable. We explored the rugged trails in a Hummer H3, which felt both cushy and capable—perfect for navigating the terrain while still relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience that I’d recommend to anyone visiting Prescott who wants a mix of adventure, history, and natural beauty.

Tom picked us up at our lodge right on time. Driving a serious mean business Hummer. The weather was hot and it was a relief to get into the national forest shade although in a short time the road transformed into a trail and it became clear why were in a Hummer! Too hot to see much wildlife but there were deer and plenty of birds and squirrels. We were out well over 90 minutes and traversed some pretty hairy sections. Glad to get to the lake to stretch our legs and get a snack and cold beverage. Tom definitely knew his stuff and we were regaled by many interesting anecdotes.

This tour is worth it! Went 4 wheeling in a Hummer. Private tour. Just the 2 of us in each vehicle. 4 Hummers altogether. Went way up into the National Forest. Had some very steep terrain!! Andy handled the Hummer flawlessly! Then we went to a lake....can't remember which one. But it was awesome. Highly recommend!!!!!

Here’s a polished review you can use: My son and I had an incredible off-road adventure through the Prescott National Forest! Our tour guide, Tom, was absolutely fantastic — friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Prescott area. He shared fascinating insights into the local history and nature that really enriched the experience. Despite the rough terrain, Tom always made us feel safe and in good hands. And as a bonus, his collection of dad jokes kept us laughing the whole ride! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Prescott with a guide who clearly loves what he does.
