Dust lifts off the trail as a convoy of UTVs threads between scrubby creosote and sculpted sandstone, the Virgin River flashing silver below. Riders feel the machines respond—sudden climbs, tight switchbacks, and a cool splash at the river crossing—then slow into the wide enclosures of a private desert zoo where camels, llamas and a two-toed sloth await a closer look.

Dust lifts off the trail as a convoy of UTVs threads between scrubby creosote and sculpted sandstone, the Virgin River flashing silver below. Riders feel the machines respond—sudden climbs, tight switchbacks, and a cool splash at the river crossing—then slow into the wide enclosures of a private desert zoo where camels, llamas and a two-toed sloth await a closer look.
This outing pairs the rugged geology of the Mojave—paleo-river terraces, volcanic cobbles, and iron-stained cliffs—with a small collection of exotic and domestic animals kept for conservation education and visitor interaction. The area sits on land shaped by the Virgin River’s seasonal pulses; local ranching and early Mormon settlement history still mark nearby Bunkerville and Mesquite.
Expect a guided, 2.5-hour loop that mixes fast desert trail sections with short interpretive stops and a tram-based zoo introduction. Guides handle vehicle orientation and safety; helmets and goggles are provided. The zoo segment offers photo-ops and an up-close camel encounter, plus brief talks about animal care and habitat.
Practicalities: bookings are instant and operate from a river-road staging area (bring ID if you plan to drive a UTV). Summer afternoons get brutally hot—early starts are common—while spring and fall are the most comfortable riding windows. Wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection and a secure camera strap. Group sizes are moderate; expect some light splashing at the river and dusty conditions overall. This combo is ideal for riders seeking a high-energy desert drive combined with family-friendly wildlife experiences.
Yes — drivers must meet age and ID requirements set by the operator; training and orientation are provided prior to departure.
The tram and camel photo-op are family-friendly; staff supervise interactions, but children should be accompanied by an adult.
Tours may be canceled for extreme weather; operators typically allow full refunds with 24-hour notice or will reschedule when possible.
Yes — helmets and goggles are included; guests should still wear closed-toe shoes and tie back long hair.
