Some years back, we started looking at the idea of providing a different sort of back road experience.
Folks liked the fun, educational format of our Jeep tours. So we said, why not apply those same principles to All-Terrain Vehicles (aka ATV)? Nothing fast, furious or "Dukes of Hazzard". Just a neat, self-directed ride into the wilds of Big Bend.
So, we went out and purchased a few Can-Am 400 Outlander Max ATV's that seat two guests very comfortably. Boy, are these babies fun to drive!
But take your choice. Ride with a friend or try one for yourself, but either way, you'll experience the desert in a very unique way.
