Colorado River Blast: Adrenaline RZR Tour + Ghost Town + Lunch

About this tour

When Sarah from our team did this Las Vegas desert run, it ticked a lot of boxes in five-and-a-half hours. You start with a walk through an actual 1861 ghost town—dusty buildings, old mining gear, the real deal—then strap into either a 2-seater or 4-seater RZR for a proper off-road thrash through Eldorado Canyon toward the Colorado River. The terrain's rugged, the views open up, and you'll spot wildlife if you're lucky. No driving experience needed; guides walk you through it. Finishes with lunch and river views, plus you get the photos and footage to prove it happened.

What to expect

The day starts with a guided walk through the ghost town—don't expect a museum feel, but the structures and vintage equipment are genuine. It's compact, atmospheric, and gives you a real sense of Old West life before you jump into the RZR.

Then you're geared up, given a safety rundown, and handed the keys (or the passenger seat). The ride itself is genuinely bumpy and exhilarating. Trails snake through desert scrub with big views of Eldorado Canyon opening up as you go. Your guide leads the way, stops for photos, and keeps an eye on the group. By the Colorado River, you're dusty but buzzing. Lunch is solid—proper food, not a token snack—and you get time to cool off and swim if you want. The whole thing moves at a good clip without feeling rushed.
