Highlights

This evening/night time 4x4 photo adventure takes you into the wilds of Roosevelt National Forest to see the sunset from our private 360 degree viewing and photo tower. This tour combines all the thrills from the Rock’n Roller Coaster tour (Panoramic tour with request) with an extra hour of fun for family time around a fire. Bring your family for an exhilarating experience with an off-road adventure combined with the excitement of roasting your own mouthwatering hot dogs and marshmallows over an open fire. We also provide chips and drinks, and for extra relaxation, feel free to bring your own adult beverages. In this tour you have stadium seating in one of our off-road custom vehicles with an open top, and a bikini top if it rains. We do provide rain gear that are full body suites called Frog Toggs. Bundle up a little more for this tour since it is open air. Top-off the night, with a ride back in the dark for a truly thrilling adventure.

  • 5Awesome Off The Road Jeep Adventure

    This trip was an exciting experience of off the road Jeep as well as climbing a fire tower, and camaraderie around the campfire with other guests. Our guide Dan, was absolutely awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the natural habitat. He had a great sense of humor and really made the tour exciting and informative. He also made us feel comfortable and safe about the bumpy Jeep aspect of the tour. We give him a 10 star review. 😊

  • 5Amazing views, thrilling rides, excellent staff

    The check in process was quick and easy, and the office staff was very helpful and friendly. CE was a phenomenal driver and tour guide. The trips up and down the mountain were a thrill, and even when it started sprinkling, we were provided rain jackets and blankets to keep us warm. We saw a fantastic panoramic, peak-top sunset view and settled in with hotdogs and s’mores. Before we headed back down the trail, we had a majestic star gazing moment along with an insightful astronomy lesson. The kids woke up this morning asking to go back…this tour has definitely been the highlight of our trip so far!
