Think the desert is boring? Think again! Our 4X4 off road desert loop tours are anything but boring and not for those that want a smooth ride. Join us for an experience unique to this area of the Sonoran desert. Hold on as you crest rock peaks and slide down the other side. Available year round, this rugged ride will take you through desert riverbeds and over trails from the gold rush days of the 1800’s. Keep your arms and legs in – you’ll be amazed at the flora and fauna the desert calls home.
You may bring your own alcohol on the 4×4 desert adventures, but NO glass. Only beverages in cans or plastic are permitted.
Differences Between 4×4 Tours:
- 30 Min. Tour – Rolling non-stop, adjacent to Goldfield Ghost Town, brief introduction to the Sonoran Desert
- 1 Hr. Tour – Rolling non-stop, adjacent to Goldfield Ghost Town, different views and more information and history, better chance of spotting wildlife
- 2 Hr. Tour – Tour on Tonto National Forest land, most information on the Lost Dutchman, legends, lore, plants and animals and a nice picture stop.

Marvel at the beauty of the western face of the Superstition Mountains, Weaver’s Needle and Blacktop Mesa.
