We did the Bryce and Zion combo tour, we were expecting to spend a couple of hours in each park, then have to go back the next day to see what we missed. However, that was not the case. Nick was awesome! He took his time, we hiked in both parks and went to spots that we wouldn’t have gone to on our own. Definitely would do a tour again with this company.

Grand Canyon ATV experience
Without the crowds
Iconic Overlooks far from the pavement.
Fully Guided Tour
New for 2022! Lose the pavement and find yourself in the wilds of the North Rim Backcountry. Experience a once in a lifetime ATV ride to backcountry overlooks into the North Rim. The north rim of the Grand Canyon, known as the Kaibab, sticks out like a big thumb through the southwest. Kaibab means mountain lying down in the Paiute language. Twist and turn through deep forest trails to jaw dropping overlooks. Words always fall short describing the scale of the Grand Canyon. There may be no better way to view the rim than by using our open air Side-by-Side (SxS) ATVs to efficiently access overlooks such as Crazy Jug Point, Monument Point, Thunder River, and the Kanab Wilderness overlooks of Sowats point, Jumpup and Goosenecks point. We then loop back through the deep forest paths back to finish the tour!

Navigate the North Rim through the Backcountry.
We love the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s wilder and bigger than the South. We start out driving south from Kanab through Fredonia to the base of the mountain known as the Kaibab. From here we unload the ATVs and take off across the wilds of Northern Arizona. Starting in Juniper scrub forest further up into Fir and Aspen groves and back to the breaks of the Esplanade desert regions, this tour covers quite a bit of elevation. From towering Ponderosas to giant Century Plants, we cover some unique plant life as we traverse through the Limestone layers of the North Rim. There is a lot of animal life as well. Everything from Mule deer to Kaibab Mountain Squirrels, and Spiny Collared Lizards to California Condors.
Avoid the crowds and come up to an elevation where you can really clear your head. You can expect to enjoy a day full of heart thumping ATV trails, winding forest glades and stunning vistas.
The highlight for many is experiencing first hand the sheer size and presence of the canyon, it’s crevice is a mile deep and over 275 miles long! For many of our guests, it’s a powerful experience that stays with them, one that seems to make their busy world stand still as they watch the sun dive deep into the canyon, almost touching the Colorado River. The air is crisp and refreshing throughout the North Rim, surrounded by a lush forest environment and excellent trails and hiking options with countless amazing views, you’ll easily see why it’s regarded as one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

Grand Canyon North Rim ATV Tour
Larry was our guide for the 8-hour day trip to Zion. Everything was easy – he picked us up at our hotel and took us to the best sights to see and a great lunch. The highlight, for sure, was The Narrows after lunch.

Our tour guide, Cory, was knowledgable, personable, flexible, and well-versed on many subjects. For Canadian snowbirds, heading north through Kanab, tours by this company are time and money well-spent. Our day tour was fantastic!!!!
