  • ATVs can potentially be challenging to ride depending on one's physical fitness and ability. In general, ATVs are easy to operate for most.

    PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFO BELOW:

    Prior ATV or motorcycle riding experience is highly recommended. ATVs can potentially be challenging for some individuals to operate and we reserve the right to deny rental for any reason to those we determine incapable of safe and proper vehicle operation. All riders must complete a mandatory safety briefing / operations lesson and pass a time based on-site rider skill test to determine ATV operational competency before we will allow you to leave our premises with the vehicle. If a rider does not pass the rider skill test, they will be refunded the hourly balance charged, minus a NON-REFUNDABLE FEE of $25.00 per hour booked for our loss of potential rental for that time slot.

    *We currently can not accommodate riders over 386 lbs. This is our vehicles weight limit.

Sonoran Desert Info

  • Why is it called a "lush" desert? The Sonoran Desert is considered lush compared to other deserts due to its unique biseasonal rainfall pattern (winter rains and a summer monsoon). It is considered the wettest desert in the world! This precipitation supports a rich diversity of plants, including around 2,000 species, notably the iconic large columnar saguaro cacti and legume (Bean) trees.
  • What is the climate like? It has a subtropical climate, receiving between 3 to 15 inches of rain per year. Winters are generally mild with rare frosts, while summers can see temperatures exceeding 120°F (49°C) in the driest areas.
  • What unique wildlife and plants are found there? The desert is home to a wide range of life, including diverse cacti like the saguaro, barrel, and prickly pear, as well as animals such as coyotes, road runners, bobcats, mountain lions, deer, porcupine, javelina, desert tortoise, rattlesnakes (6 subspecies in the desert areas, 13 total in the state), gila monster (one of only two venomous lizards in the world) scorpions, tarantulas and numerous bird species.
  • How do animals survive the heat? Many animals are most active during the cooler nights (nocturnal) or during dawn and dusk (crepuscular). Others have adapted behaviors or physical features, such as the ability to store water or dissipate heat efficiently.
  • If you are interested in more information about the Sonoran Desert, our staff can provide a wealth of local information.
