ATV riding near Zion: Toquerville Falls off-road adventure

Sand dunes, a desert waterfall, and four hours at the controls of your own UTV

ATV riding near Zion National Park takes you through sand dunes and rugged trails to Toquerville Falls, a hidden waterfall in the Southern Utah desert. You operate your own UTV (two-person minimum per vehicle) over rolling terrain, guided by a licensed operator who handles logistics and safety. The ride covers roughly four hours of active driving across Sand Hollow and desert landscape, ending at the waterfall with water and a helmet included.

Step-by-step itinerary

Off-road adventure to Toquerville Falls

• Take thrilling off-road UTV tour
• Ride ATV through Sand Hollow dunes
• Visit Toquerville Falls waterfall

The experience

You drive your own UTV, not a passenger seat. The route starts with Sand Hollow's rolling dunes, where the terrain shifts under the tires as you navigate the open sand. A licensed guide leads the way and handles the route, so you focus on the ride itself. The vehicle seats two, which means you can bring a friend or family member to share the experience and the driving if you want to split time at the controls.

Toquerville Falls is the endpoint: a desert waterfall near Hurricane, Utah, roughly four hours into the day. The landscape changes as you move from the dunes toward it: rugged trails replace the open sand. Bottled water and ice come with you, and the operator provides the helmet and goggles. A damage waiver is included in the price, so minor contact with the terrain doesn't trigger extra charges.

The activity suits riders from age four up, though the operator notes it's not recommended for people with spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns. Children can ride as passengers, and if you're an adult rider, you're covered regardless of fitness level. Pickup is included, which means you don't arrange your own transport to the trailhead. The guide handles that part of the logistics.
