WHEN THE PAVEMENT ENDS THE ADVENTURE BEGINS!

Climb aboard our premier custom rigged vehicles and travel back in time to the “Old West” on a four-wheelin' adventure.

The Sonoran Desert, often referred to as the "living desert", boasts an abundance of plant and animal life like no other desert in the world. Visitors are constantly amazed to discover how lush and green our desert actually is, and at the incredible number of animal species that make this desert their home.

From the front door of the hotel, authentic cowboy and Native American guides in western and traditional garb will take you north to the magnificent Granite Mountain trails where the effects of man have not yet spoiled the natural desert landscape.

Expert guides, knowledgeable in Arizona history and legend, conduct entertaining and informative nature walks identifying the numerous varieties of cacti and other desert plants indigenous to the area. They will explain how the native peoples learned to utilize these tremendous resources for food, clothing and shelter. Visitors are usually lucky enough to catch glimpses of hawks, jackrabbits, coyotes and the elusive javelina... and, yes, even the infamous rattlesnake of which there are more than a dozen varieties in the desert southwest could make an appearance.

This Off-Road Desert Excursion is a must for the first-time visitor and frequent traveler alike. There is truly no better way to experience the desert with a little fun and excitement thrown in for good measure.

After your desert adventure you’ll enjoy some cowboy grub at our authentic western restaurant.
This famous steakhouse was once a general store and rest stop for weary travelers.
Mesquite grilled steaks & chicken, country music and a laid back western atmosphere await you!
