Six hours behind the wheel of a side-by-side is equal parts mechanical focus and landscape immersion: from high-speed runs across red sand to low-speed technical rock crawling, the Logandale Trail System delivers constant variety. You’ll depart directly from the shop, guided by the supplied GPS map and supported by satellite communication while you trace routes that thread the backcountry around Valley of Fire.
