Off-Roading

Mesa’s wide-open desert was built for UTV, ATV and Jeep exploration. Miles of rugged trails and mountain backdrops make it easy to leave the pavement behind. One moment you’re weaving through towering saguaros, the next you’re climbing toward panoramic overlooks with nothing but desert stretching in every direction.

Top Spots to Ride

Four Peaks Recreation Area for elevation changes and sweeping desert views.

Bulldog Canyon near the Salt River for classic Sonoran terrain and varied routes.

Butcher Jones Recreation Site near Saguaro Lake for rides that combine water views with open desert.
