GRAND JUNCTION ATV/UTV FIELD GUIDE
Three Hours Across Petrified Dunes: A Guided UTV Loop Out of Grand Junction
A focused, three-hour guided UTV outing that puts you on brand-new machines with in-console GPS to explore 550,000 acres of desert terrain just minutes from the Grand Valley OHV trailhead.
Three Hours Across Petrified Dunes: A Guided UTV Loop Out of Grand Junction.
From a trailhead minutes from Grand Junction, this guided three‑hour UTV experience threads through a vast swath of Colorado desert: petrified sand dunes, open OHV playgrounds and sculpted formations across more than half a million acres. Professional guides, new UTVs and built-in navigation mean the ride is concentrated on the landscape and the drive, not logistics.

What the day feels like
What the three-hour outing feels like
The day begins at the rental shop five minutes from the Grand Valley OHV trailhead with a quick check-in and safety briefing. After helmets and a short setup, guides load coolers of ice water and send the group out in new UTVs fitted with Ride Command GPS. The next hours are a loop of open desert trails, dune formations and guided lines chosen by local guides, ending with a brief vehicle inspection on return.
