4.00The trails are VERY rugged and strewn with rocks and lots of dust. The Caterpillar ride was billed as 10 MPH maximum but our group went MUCH faster making it hard to keep up. The guide was very good and most helpful. The UTV’s were up to the challenge but it was like riding a jackhammer for two hours. Great outing for the younger, tougher crowd but I will be taking a Jeep tour next time I want to ride around in the desert!
Great ride!
