Apache Trail And Desert Tours
Ten ways into the desert: steamboat cruises on Canyon Lake along the Apache Trail, evening jeep rides near Scottsdale, and UTV runs across Four Peaks country.
The jeep and UTV rides fit travelers who want desert up close without giving up a whole day, since several run about two hours. The van tours suit anyone who prefers a paved road, a steamboat and a full day out.
10 tours, from $155 per person, or $204 per group, up to 2.

When To Book Your Day Tour From Phoenix
Van tours keep to the paved stretch through Tortilla Flat to Canyon Lake and run year round. In summer, desert heat pushes the jeep and UTV departures toward early morning and sunset slots.
Most pickups sit in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area, and one off-road tour departs from Mesa. Short tours run more than once a day, so the listing will show the time that fits you.
