Love the offroad experience. Karl was great, he walked me thru all the technical obstacles. I definitely recommend and will be back for other trails. I returned a few years later and took the Valley of Fire tour. We were delayed since steam started to come out of the vents but Tim was great and fixed it quick and we were off. Amazing experience and had me hold on the grab bars on most obstacles. Loved it all and highly recommend!

Karl was awesome patient knowledgeable and helpful. He not only knew the rigs and their capabilities but also the history of the trails and was kind to everyone we encountered along the way. We did Rocky Gap. Definitely would do other trails next chance I get.

Karl was a great guide. Even as an experienced Jeep off roader, I leaned a lot about rock crawling.

We had a great trip to Red Rock Canyon! Karl was our tour guide and did an amazing job coaching us and giving us information about the area. Our next trip to Vegas we will book another tour!

Had a blast! Went for the Valley of Fire 5h trail, the guide was fantastic all the way and was literally an off-road guru. I'm definitely coming back next time for another one.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Was just my family and the guide, so two jeeps. A quick ride out to the location and off we went. Guide was there to get us through some tricky spots, but most of it was easy. When we got to the rock garden, the guide (Tim) was out there on foot spotting for us and pushing us outside our comfort zones. All the while, he was taking photos. He added in a bit of local history. My son is really interested in doing it again, and on one of the harder trails. Got to see some beautiful parts of the Canyon. Made for an enjoyable half day experience.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

WHAT TO WEAR

Summer: Shorts and T-shirts are recommended. Lightweight, breathable clothing is best for warmer desert temperatures.

Spring & Fall: Light layers are recommended. Mornings may be cooler, with temperatures warming throughout the day.

Winter: Bring a jacket or sweatshirt and dress in layers. Desert mornings can be cold.

Year-Round: Closed-toe shoes are required. Sunscreen, sunglasses and hats are recommended.

WINDY DAYS

On windy days the desert sand can blow. Sunglasses help protect your eyes, and we recommend keeping your window rolled up. It’s still a blast.

THE NELLIS TERRAIN

Nellis is very diverse. You’ll cross sand, gravel, rock and steep hills. Because of the open desert terrain, the pace can be a little faster than on our other trails. Your guide steps out to help you through certain obstacles.

THE NELLIS ROUTE

Your 3-hour tour is a round trip from our shop at 3575 W. Naples Dr, including the drive to Nellis, the trail and the return to Las Vegas.

The drive out: Nellis is approximately 20 miles outside of Las Vegas. The group travels together convoy-style to the trail.

The trail: Sand, gravel, rock and steep hills keep the drive varied from start to finish.

The dune overlook: About halfway through the trail, we stop on top of the sand dunes for a view of Las Vegas in the distance.

Driver switches: If your group wants to switch drivers, we do driver switches throughout the trail.

Your guide also takes photos and videos along the way, and we’ll share a link at the end so you can enjoy and share the memories from your off-road experience.

DO YOU PICK UP FROM LAS VEGAS HOTELS?

No, but getting to us is easy. Our shop is just 1 mile west of the Las Vegas Strip at 3575 W. Naples Dr. Most guests take Uber or Lyft from their hotel, or simply drive their rental car to our location. This is where you’ll check in and pick up your Rock Crawler.

HOW DO WE GET TO NELLIS?

You drive! From our shop, you’ll drive your Rock Crawler approximately 20 miles to the Nellis trail, following your guide. The group travels together convoy-style to the trail and back.

HOW LONG IS THE TOUR?

The Nellis tour is about 3 hours round trip from our shop, including the drive to the trail, the off-road adventure and the return to Las Vegas.

IS THE GUIDE IN OUR ROCK CRAWLER?

No. You Drive. We Guide. Your guide leads from a separate Jeep while you drive your Rock Crawler. Each Jeep has a radio so your guide can communicate with you throughout the adventure.

HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO DRIVE OR RIDE?

Drivers must be 21 or older with a valid driver’s license. Younger guests are welcome to ride as passengers. Driver switching is allowed during the adventure for qualified drivers.

DO I NEED OFF-ROAD EXPERIENCE?

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

Fuel, taxes, water and snacks, off-road fees, and photos and videos are included in your tour.

IS THIS TOUR RIGHT FOR ME?

Our tours are a slow crawl over rocks and obstacles, with your guide spotting you and giving instructions by radio. The trail has rough and bumpy sections and smooth stretches, and you can expect to be jostled at times. Off-road tours carry risks, which are described in the participant agreement every guest signs.

Everyone is different, so please think about your comfort before you book:

  • Guests with severe back problems, or who have a hard time getting in and out of a vehicle, should not take this tour.
  • Pregnant guests should ask their doctor before booking.
  • If you have a heart condition or another serious medical condition, please check with your doctor first.

Not sure? Call us at (844) 730-6014 before you book and we’ll talk it through.
