The West Rim Jeep Tour threads through Sand Hollow’s iconic slickrock for 2.5–3 hours of raw terrain and wide desert views. The route is built around choose-your-line obstacles—features like The Funnel and The Steps—that let drivers dial the run from adventurous to extreme, and an optional West Rim + Maze upgrade pushes into cliffside crawls and steep drops.

THE LANDSCAPE

Sand Hollow’s Slickrock Vistas

The tour runs across Sand Hollow’s sculpted slickrock, offering broad, exposed views and dramatic late‑day light that frame the route’s exposed lines.

THE ROUTE

Choose‑Your‑Line Obstacles — The Funnel & The Steps

The West Rim is defined by line‑choice features such as The Funnel and The Steps, allowing drivers to select a milder or more technical passage on the same run.

THE UPGRADE

West Rim + Maze: Extreme Cliffside Crawls

For those seeking the maximum test, the West Rim + Maze adds relentless obstacles — cliffside crawls and steep drops — but requires heavy modification and experienced drivers.

What the Run Feels Like

Expect 2.5–3 hours of concentrated off‑road driving across slickrock: exposure, line choice, and repeated technical sections that let you tune the day’s intensity. The format is follow‑in‑your‑own‑vehicle, so you ride the same terrain as the lead but remain in your own rig and comfort zone.
