Two Hours in a Maverick: Off‑Roading the Coconino’s High‑Desert Pines.
This is a short, high‑energy off‑road rental that puts you behind the wheel of a Can‑Am Maverick X3 Turbo for a two‑hour run through the Ponderosa‑studded high desert of the Coconino National Forest. The semi‑guided format pairs a mapped, GPS‑tracked route with a quick orientation and on‑trail support, giving drivers the freedom to set their own pace across sandy washes, rocky singletrack and open forest prairie.

Free‑range riding with GPS guidance
Rather than a rigid, leader‑led convoy, this rental uses a designated GPS‑tracked route and on‑trail support so drivers can choose how hard to push and where to pause for views.
High‑desert forest scenery at every turn
Trails wind through the Arizona high desert offering sweeping mountain lines, stands of ponderosa pine and the changing textures of sandy washes and rocky paths—scenery that shifts with each bend in the trail.
Purpose‑built Can‑Am Mavericks
The operator provides Can‑Am Maverick X3 Turbo vehicles—high‑performance SxS units built to handle rugged terrain while delivering smooth handling and powerful suspension.
