Off-Roading at Sand Mountain
AdventureModerateYear-round
Rent a UTV to navigate 15,000 acres of perfectly sculpted sand dunes and technical rock crawling overlooking Sand Hollow Reservoir.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book a 4-hour rental to provide enough time to reach the Top of the World viewpoint and explore the West Rim trails.
- 2Pack a high-quality dust mask or gaiter and polarized sunglasses to protect against the fine red silt kicked up during travel.
- 3Enter through the Sand Hollow State Park main gate and park at the large staging area near the tunnel for direct dunes access.
- 4Download an offline GPS map like Gaia GPS or OnX Offroad as the 15,000-acre trail network is vast and poorly marked.
- 5Bring a swimsuit and towel to cool off in Sand Hollow Reservoir immediately after your dusty ride.
- 6Check your tire pressure before heading into the technical rock crawling sections to ensure maximum traction on the slickrock.
