Tour Details

RUGGED OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, THEN BBQ.

The Sonoran Desert is iconic and is associated with all things Western. Unique wildlife, abundant sun, prickly cacti, and—of course—BBQ! Insiders know that the only way to get the full Sonoran experience is to enjoy the great outdoors and the great indoors.

That’s why you’ll want to check out our Backroads & BBQ tour. It’s the best of both worlds!

This tour is guaranteed to be a good time. Your Chief Adventurer will take you out into the desert for an exciting tour. You’ll be able to see firsthand the rugged beauty of this terrain from the H1 Hummer/ATV/UTV. After you take it all in, we’ll take you to Frasher’s Smokehouse. BBQ & local craft beer are included in the price of this tour. You won’t be disappointed by this stellar combo!

Whether you’re with coworkers, friends, or family, this tour is a perfect way to unwind and to get your adventure fix. We’ll bet you a BBQ sauce shot that it’ll be the highlight of your trip to Arizona!

Hit the Trails in an ATV, UTV or H1 Hummer

With all our tastsing tours, you can decide what rugged vehicle fits your group best. The H1 Hummer is the ultimate off-road machine. It can easily scale vertical walls nearly 2 feet high, ascend 60 degrees incline with ease and ford a gushing rapid 2 and a half feet deep! Want more control? Hop in, buckle up, turn the switch, and hit the trail in the toughest thing the Sonoran Desert has ever seen. “Agile” barely begins to describe the dexterity of the Kawasaki Teryx4 UTV. This four-seater can be filled to capacity and can still climb trails, crawl boulders, and zip all over the desert without it—or you—breaking a sweat. How does a fully automatic ATV sound? With this unique option, you’re in control as you wind through the diverse and beautiful landscape of the Sonoran Desert.

BBQ TASTING TIME

After enjoying your off-road tour, your adventure will continue at Frasher’s Smokehouse, where they bring together traditional Memphis and Kansas City BBQ styles with a Southwestern twist.
