Sand Hollow/Sand Mountain Mesa

Sand Mountain/Sand Hollow Reservoir:

Sand Mountain is an excellent riding area, and becoming a hot spot for off road adventure enthusiast. It is conveniently located a quick 15 minutes away, and can be accessed by UTV directly from our shop. No trailering necessary. This area has a variety of terrain, including red rock, desert trails, washes and SAND DUNES. The changing elevations create amazing vistas and photo opportunities of Sand Hollow Reservoir, desert plateaus, rock formations and an amazing 1000′ drop to Warner Valley from the top of the mesa.

Warner Valley

Warner Valley:

Warner Valley is accessed directly from our shop by UTV. A trail loops around Warner Valley where you will find dinosaur tracks, Indian petroglyphs and historic Ft. Pearce. This is a great ride for beginners and/or sight-seeing. The terrain includes dirt trails, washes, sand, slot canyons, and purple “moon mounds.” The experienced rider can access more challenging terrain directly from the Warner Valley loop. Longer rides or tours can take you into Arizona where you can access the historic “Honeymoon Trail” or Little Black Mountain with additional trails and Indian petroglyphs. This is also one of the access points for the amazing Toroweap overlook which you can get to by renting one of our Jeeps.

Gooseberry Mesa

Gooseberry Mesa/Little Creek Mesa:

Gooseberry Mesa and Little Creek Mountain are adjacent to one another and can be ridden together or separately depending on available time. These areas are located at approximately 5,000 to 5,800 feet of elevation and are cooler riding areas in the summer. Gooseberry Mesa has amazing views of Zion National Park, Smithsonian Butte, the Virgin River, and the surrounding valleys and plateaus. It also accesses a historical cemetery and buildings in the ghost town of Grafton where scenes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were filmed. Little Creek Mountain accesses a plateau covered in Juniper trees and provides vast, breathtaking views of the Arizona Strip approximately 1,300 below. Little Creek Mesa also have petroglyphs carved into the flat sandstone ground as well as a few ponds with fun fishing opportunities.

Toquerville Falls is located at approximately 3,800 feet elevation and is an excellent destination to break away from the desert heat and get wet. Zion National Park and the colorful canyons of Smith Mesa can be seen as you ascend toward the falls. The falls themselves present a great photo opportunity. Before descending back down the canyon, a short climb to the top of the Black Ridge provides amazing views of the Pine Valley Mountains. Depending on ability, one can ride along the Toquerville creek bottom and locate beautiful cliff walls and vegetation. This ride is not recommended if there has been recent rain and there is threat of flash flooding, high clearance and 4 wheel drive is highly recommended.
