| - Every year you have a choice to make. Do you fight the extreme shopping crowds of Black Friday, or do you do something... anything... else. As I do every year, I went with the latter. I booked an ATV tour with Stellar Adventures.
Stellar stood out from the other ATV tour/rental companies because they seemed to be the only one I could find that would allow my 13 year old son to drive an ATV himself.
We signed up for the Four Peaks Tour. The tour takes you through some of the desert trails of the Tonto National Forest. This was a first time experience for all of us. Chad, our guide, took his time to explain how to use the ATV's and made sure everyone was comfortable.
He was very knowledgeable of the trails and the area as well. His experience enhanced the tour, since he was able to stop along the way to explain what the trail ahead had in store, while also pointing out mountain ranges, lakes, and other tid bits.
There were some slightly challenging areas along the trails, but everyone was encouraged to go at their own speed. No one was expected to do anything that made them uncomfortable. It was very clear that safety was a priority.
This was an awesome time. I'd recommend it for locals or tourists. If you've never ridden an ATV, this is a great way to try them out. We will definitely be bringing out of town guests on this tour in the future, and may even buy our own ATV's, it was that much fun.
