Phoenix’s desert landscapes make it the ideal place for some off-road ATV action. Here’s your chance to see the gorgeous Bradshaw Mountains up close and witness some of the best desert views in the state. It’s also a prime opportunity to familiarize yourself with some state history: you’ll come across abandoned mines, ancient ruins, and other relics from the past. Ready for a good time?

Your Phoenix ATV tour begins about 45 minutes north of the city at Bradshaw Mountains. In 1863, settlers struck gold in the mountain range. As a result, towns started to spring up in the area. You’ll encounter these towns on your Phoenix tour; more than 40 of these towns are little more than ghost towns, including Crown King. This small town has a population of under 200 and is mainly known for its historic mine of the same name. More than $2 million in gold was found in that mine alone over the years.

The ghost towns and mines are just a portion of this Phoenix ATV guided tour. You’ll also get to experience the state’s desert environment in all its glory. Cacti, canyons, creeks, and more await you on the path through the Bradshaw Mountains. Your tour guide will point out all these natural wonders while providing insight about the rich history surrounding this land, dating all the way back to when Native Americans called this area home.

Pick your ATV and join this thrilling Phoenix tour for a fun time riding through the desert backcountry. You’ll get to see a whole other side to Arizona on this Phoenix guided tour.
