Lone Pine Canyon 50 Mile Loop: High-Desert Off-Road Tour near Gardnerville

Four hours of open throttle and tight canyon walls on interconnected high-desert trails

A 4-hour off-road ride through Gardnerville's Lone Pine Canyon loop covers 50 miles of high-desert terrain, mixing high-speed straightaways with technical rock ledges, steep climbs and canyon navigation. Navigation equipment and a SPOT satellite GPS tracker come with every ride. Fuel is included. You pick your vehicle at checkout (the XPEDITION XP 5 NorthStar, RZR XP4 1000, or RZR XP 1000), and must hold a valid driver's license and be at least 18 years old to drive, with a passenger over 25 riding along.

The experience

The ride spans hundreds of miles of interconnected trails across a high-desert landscape where terrain shifts constantly. You'll accelerate on hard-packed dirt and sweeping flats, then downshift to navigate technical rock ledges, steep hill climbs and tight canyon walls carved into the backcountry. The route demands precision on narrow passages and raw speed on open sections, so the day pulls you between two different kinds of riding without pause.

Navigation equipment and a SPOT satellite GPS tracker keep you oriented across the vast trail network. Fuel is included in the ride cost. Helmets are provided, and you'll need to bring closed-toe shoes, layers for weather changes, and any water or snacks you want along the way. Arrive 15 minutes early to get fitted and briefed on your chosen vehicle before heading out.

What’s included

• Navigation equipment and a SPOT satellite GPS tracker.
• fuel.
• helmets.
• a list of sites and attractions for self-guided exploration afterward.

Top questions

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What vehicles can I choose from for the Lone Pine Canyon loop?

Three options are available at checkout: the XPEDITION XP 5 NorthStar, the RZR XP4 1000, or the RZR XP 1000. Each handles the mix of speed and technical terrain differently, so your choice shapes how the day feels.

Do I need off-road riding experience to do this loop?

You need at least a moderate level of physical fitness and a valid driver's license. The terrain includes both high-speed sections and technical passages, so comfort with varied terrain and machine control matters more than prior off-road miles.

What's included in the 4-hour ride?

Navigation equipment, a SPOT satellite GPS tracker, fuel, and a helmet are all included. The operator also provides a list of sites and attractions for riders who want to explore on their own after the guided loop.

What should I bring or wear for the ride?

Wear closed-toe shoes and layers like a lightweight jacket in case weather shifts. Bring a backpack with water, snacks, bug spray and sunscreen if you want them. Eye protection is required whenever the vehicle is running, so sunglasses or goggles are essential.
