I booked for my family. It was soo much fun! We had a great guide - Sonoran Sasquatch was our guide on this experience. We learned some interesting facts about this desert and had a great time on the trails. This was my husband's favorite part of the trip.

We scheduled the UTV centipede tour for me. my wife, my daughter, and my 73 year old mother in law. We all loved to ride, scenery, and experience. The UTV was so much smoother riding than I expected. 8 am was great time to beat the heat. Our guide Sami was great. She was kind, patient, and informative.
