The following are FAQs from our customers. If you cannot find the answer to you question, please click [Ask Question] to ask. We will answer your question as soon as possible.

1	What type of vehicle is used for the tours?

We use the best all-terrain vehicles, the HUMMER H2’s. They are air-conditioned, making it very comfortable in the warm months and seats are heated for those times when we head up to colder elevations. HUMMERS are legendary for their unparalleled stability and climbing ability. Mix in a little luxury and you’ve got the best vehicle for your adventure!

2	What do I need to bring along on my trip?

Just your sense of adventure and the right clothing. While your vehicle will be air-conditioned, the desert does have extremes. Some summer days can reach over 100 degrees and winters can bring surprisingly low temperatures. It is best to dress for the season in the event you will want to disembark from the vehicle for an up-close look at nature. Layering is always a good idea. If you get too warm, you can simply remove a layer or two. It is important to wear the right shoes too.

3	Will I see any wildlife?

You may! Our guides are able to take you to those locations where you have the best possible chances to see wildlife in their native habitat. Guests have seen many species of reptiles, jackrabbits, coyotes, bobcat, mule deer, big horn sheep, and a variety of other animals.

4	What about weather restrictions?

Since you will riding in an enclosed, safe vehicle, weather is not a problem. We are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

5	Do you provide snacks and refreshments on the tours?

Yes, we provide plenty of quality snacks and refreshments. Each HUMMER is equipped with a state-of-the-art refrigerator that can hold a variety of drinks for everyone on the adventure. No one will leave thirsty! Our snacks do not contain artificial ingredients, preservatives or MSG.
