Admission and access are separate decisions

Every visitor needs valid park admission for each day through eligible membership access or the applicable Daily Entry Pass. A vehicle driven beyond the designated 4×4 boundary also needs valid 4×4 access through eligible membership benefits or the applicable Daily 4×4 Pass unless the selected booking says it is included.

Every visitor must have a current MERUS waiver. A parent or legal guardian must complete the waiver for a minor.

Weather, maintenance, events, hunts, and other operations can affect access. Check current conditions, hours, and your confirmation before traveling.

See STAGE5 courses
Which activity is best for a first-time off-road visitor?

Consider a guided Green tour in your own eligible 4×4. It provides a structured introduction to the landscape and current trail expectations. STAGE5 is the separate option for formal driving and recovery instruction.

Can I visit without bringing a 4×4?

Yes. You can hike or bike from an approved parking area, reserve an eligible Jeep rental, or join another activity that does not require your own trail vehicle. Review the specific page before booking.

Are passes included with every activity?

No. Standard guided tours include driver entry and one 4×4 pass, while Jeep rentals require guest admission and vehicle access to be added. Always read the selected booking’s inclusion note.
