Additional Information

The Phoenix Tucson Box Canyon Excursion is located at Florence, Arizona, placed equally distant from Tucson and Phoenix along State Route 79. The journey time from either of these cities is around 1.5 hours, subject to your exact location.

The route we navigate is approximately 34 miles long and lasts about 3.25 hours. The tour involves a climb and descent of over 1500 vertical feet as we traverse the forefront of the Pinal Mountains. During the journey, your guide will highlight Indian rock art remnants of the ancient Native Americans. A noteworthy landmark is an old adobe structure that was a stopover for the Butterfield Overland Stage Coach Company during the 1860’s Express, referred to as the “Butterfield. The standout feature of the tour is Box Canyon.
The central 3 miles is a narrow canyon bounded by walls reaching 1500 feet high on both sides and are sometimes as narrow as 15-20 feet apart. The surrounding views are breathtaking!

Highlight of the trip for my 15 and 16 year boys - This was a cool tour. The riding double option plus $40 for the second rider keeps the tour affordable. 3 hour tour. 34 miles, with 10 in the Box Canyon. The guide was good. The Greek restaurant Mount Athos was a good spot for lunch in Florence. I believe we had 6 total ATV's on the tour including the driver.

Absolutely amazing time with awesome tour guide - This is an absolutely do not miss excursion! Bill was so nice and made the trip incredibly fun! He also shared knowledge and awesome stories that brought the activity to life. My friend and I were even running late from the airport after our flight came in late and ATV adventures waited for us which was incredibly considerate given we were late. Bill made us feel comfortable before riding with his training and the tour itself was breathtakingly beautiful and also exhilarating. I can’t rave enough about how fun this was and how it made our trip to AZ that much better! Definitely recommend!

Awesome ride - We wanted to experience an ATV ride in Sedona AZ but upon searching the locations, we found this tour close to Gilbert AZ, which is where our daughter lives. I booked the tour for 6 people in my family. When we arrived at the location, there were a couple in our tour group as well. So there were just 4 ATVs in our tour group plus the tour guide's ATV. It felt like a private tour for us. The location was kind of hard to find in the GPS but they are good at giving directions. The guide taught us how to handle the ATV and we were allowed to practice in a small area first. After 15 minutes, we went straight to the Box Canyon. The canyon view was so awesome. At times w had to ride through uneven rocky trails, which is what the ATV is supposed to perform in these rough conditions. The ride was very dusty, so the guide gave us bandanas to cover our faces (which we got to keep). Overall, I really recommend this tour if you're visiting Phoenix.

Fun Desert ATV Ride - We did the Box Canyon, ATV tour and Ray was our tour guide. As it turned out it was just the 3 of us and Ray, so it turned out to be a private tour. After a quick overview of how to operate the 4 wheelers we were off. We were on paved roads for about 2 miles then off road. Total tour was a little bit over 30 miles. The trails were easy to navigate and the 4 wheelers easy to operate. We saw lots of wildlife, sticky plants and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend the tour.
