Ride 22 miles of Lake Mead desert trails on a self-guided UTV adventure, with a Colorado River photo stop along the way.

About this tour

Trade the paved road for rugged desert trails on a self-guided Lake Mead UTV rental that leads to the Colorado River. This 2–4-hour ride covers 22 miles through a landscape of open desert, distinctive plants, and native wildlife.

Start at the staging area inside Lake Mead National Park, then follow the naturally formed route at your own pace with navigation equipment provided. Helmets and vehicle-specific safety gear help you prepare for the ride. At the halfway point, pause beside the Colorado River for photos; in summer, you can take a quick splash before heading back along the trail. The self-guided format lets you take in the scenery as you go, with time to appreciate the changing views on the return journey.

This Lake Mead UTV rental is a memorable way to explore the desert beyond the usual viewpoints. Review the driver, passenger, and fee requirements before booking, then get ready to ride from Lake Mead to the river.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: GetYourGuide doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
