UTV Sunset Ride, Smores

A UTV sunset ride with s'mores, run by ROAM Outdoor Adventure Co.

Overview

This tour from ROAM Outdoor Adventure Co packs a UTV trail ride, a sunset stop, a campfire with s'mores, and stargazing into 2 hours 30 minutes.

Once the light fades, the experience shifts gears. Twilight stretches out, stars begin to appear, and guides build a fire and hand out s'mores kits while pointing out constellations under skies the listing describes as among the darkest in the U.S. Reviewers mention guides sharing history of the area, and one traveller noted cosy blankets for the cold ride back.

The group runs up to 25 people, with ages from 1 to 100 welcome to ride, though drivers must be 21 or older with a valid license. It suits families and active travellers who want a mix of driving and downtime rather than a pure sightseeing drive. Water and s'more kits are included; hotel pickup is not. Expect dust on the trail and a return to the same meeting point in Tropic.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the evening go more smoothly, from dust gear to cold-weather layers.

• Dust protection. The route runs on dirt roads and reviewers consistently call it very dusty. One traveller recommends bringing goggles and a neck gaiter to keep eyes and face covered on the ride.
• Warm layers. Temperatures drop after sunset, and stargazing means standing around in the dark. One reviewer noted cosy blankets on the ride out and back helped with the cold, but dressing warmly is wise.
• Driving pace. You drive your own UTV behind the guides, and reviewers say the pace is comfortable, neither too fast nor too slow. The trail is described as not hard but not super easy, with some deeper ditches where guides give instructions.
• Food and drink. S'mores kits and bottled water are included, and one reviewer said there were as many s'mores as the group could eat. There is no hotel pickup, so plan your own transport to the meeting point in Tropic.
• Age and licenses. Riders from age 1 to 100 can take part, making it a family-friendly option. Anyone driving a UTV must be 21 or older with a valid license.
• Weather dependence. The tour requires good weather, according to the listing. If it is cancelled for poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The dirt road means dust is near guaranteed, so goggles and a face covering help. One reviewer reported an overbooking that forced a vehicle switch, a shortened route, and short supplies of chairs and s'mores ingredients, though this appears to be an isolated account. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before start time are not refunded, and the group can run as large as 25 travellers.
