Tour Overview
Chase the Sonoran Desert sunset in an open-air H1 Hummer, climbing to a panoramic mesa for golden-hour photos before a twilight descent.
Golden-Hour Mesa
Climb to an elevated panoramic mesa as the desert turns copper, with room for photos in every direction.
Open-Air H1 Hummer
A military-spec H1 with an open cabin, built for steep grades and rocky Tonto National Forest shelves.
Twilight Return
Descend at twilight after the sunset, with ice water and trail snacks included.
The Experience
The afternoon starts with a pickup from a select Scottsdale or Phoenix resort, or a nearby meeting point confirmed the day before, then the drive to the Cline Cabin Road staging area in Tonto National Forest. The open-air H1 climbs through the backcountry to an elevated mesa timed for golden hour, with the Sonoran Desert spreading out below. You stop for sunset photos and snacks as the light drops, then descend at twilight. The ride finishes back at staging roughly three hours after departure.

Where does the sunset Hummer tour stage? ▼
Pickup is arranged from select Scottsdale and Phoenix resorts, with the route confirmed the day before; depending on the route you may be asked to meet at a nearby point. We then drive you to the designated off-road area on Cline Cabin Road in Tonto National Forest, off the Fort McDowell corridor. If you are driving yourself, the staging area is at GPS 33°40'09.7"N 111°29'43.7"W; it is a remote trailhead, so plan your own vehicle or arrange roundtrip transit in advance.

Departure moves with the sunset, typically between 4 and 5:30 PM, and is confirmed for your date when you book. The route is timed so you reach the mesa for golden hour and descend at twilight. Plan for roughly three hours total.

Yes. This is a passenger tour with no driving required, suitable for ages 3 and up, and car seats are required for children 5 and under.
