Level 1 NOVICE: (This level is suitable for

and slightly modified
vehicles.)
The day begins at 10am with
an introduction to your
trail guide, who will
perform an orientation and a
safety inspection of your
vehicle. After that you are
on your way to the trail
head where the adventure
begins! Your first challenge
starts at the 101 course,
which has been designed to
replicate obstacles that one
might find in the
wilderness. Here you will
have a chance to get
familiar with your vehicle.
The 101 course is the
perfect place to ask your
trail guide specific
questions about your vehicle
or how to conquer an
obstacle. From there you
will head out to the park
where your guide will lead
you to trails that meet your
group's capabilities.
Throughout your adventure
your guide will be available
to give instructions & spot
you over obstacles. Most of
the obstacles encountered
are optional and usually
offer a bypass. These trail
rides will take you through
the most beautiful sections
of the park, and will
highlight natural wonders
and man made structures.
There will be breaks for
snacks, lunch and photo
opportunities. Your day
concludes between 4 & 5 pm.
