THE LEGACY

25+ Years of Off‑Roading Expertise

Lofty Peaks Adventures has run Utah’s premier off‑road rental operation for more than a quarter century, bringing local knowledge and a proven rental process to every outing.

THE FLEET

A Wide Selection of Side‑By‑Sides

Renters can choose from multiple UTV options, allowing groups to match vehicles to experience level and party size, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned rider.

THE PACE

A Compact, High‑Value Half‑Day

The experience is delivered as a concentrated four‑hour block — long enough to get into the rhythm of trail riding but short enough to fit into a travel day, with morning and afternoon departure windows.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like

This is a direct, hands‑on burst of off‑road time: an orientation and vehicle pickup followed by four hours behind the wheel of a side‑by‑side, cutting across the local backcountry and Heber Valley terrain. The format is purposeful — quick to get you into the landscape and focused on time riding rather than long logistics.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active CouplesA compact, four‑hour outing that fits into a half‑day of travel or vacation time; couples who want hands‑on driving and a decisive taste of Utah off‑road terrain will find it well matched.
2
Beginner DriversGood for newcomers: the operator offers multiple UTV options and a short, focused format, but drivers must complete Utah’s Free Adult OHV Education Course and meet age/license requirements before they operate.
3
Families with TeensNot ideal as a vehicle operator experience for younger teens — to reserve you must be at least 23 and drivers/operators must be at least 21 with a valid license — though teens can ride as passengers.
4
Schedule‑Conscious AdventurersIdeal for travelers who want a substantive outdoor session without committing a full day; the fixed four‑hour blocks and morning/afternoon windows make planning straightforward.
