For both members and non-members we require registration in order to have an accurate headcount for food, trail runs, and park capacity. 

Camping is included in your event ticket at the main group campsite. This is where meetups, meals, nightly chats and events will start and end.

Upgrades in accommodations like glamping sites or RV hookups sites are limited and based on availability. Check our website for booking options.

You can also stay off property in a hotel in town. MERUS is about 15 miles from the nearest motel and 35 miles from the nearest hotel in Amarillo, Texas. Travel to/from daily will be required.

We get it, there’s nothing better than gathering around the campfire after a day on the trails. However, MERUS Adventure™ is currently observing a strict fire ban. Propane cooktops and small propane fire pits are permitted and acceptable. NO WOOD, CHARCOAL, OR NATURAL BURNING FIRES ARE ALLOWED. 

In addition, we ask that smokers be prepared to distinguish their cigarettes/cigars in their vehicle. This park is precious to us and we work hard daily to protect it. If you are found to violate these rules, you will be reminded once then asked to leave the park on repeated instances. 

Absolutely! We love having pets and furry family at the park. The canyon does provide many natural hazards, in addition to the many vehicles at this event. So for the safety of the animal, we do require pets to be leashed and in your full control at all times.

Open alcoholic beverages and consumption are prohibited in off-road-vehicles during use on trails, in public parking areas. Alcohol consumption is allowed in designated camping and event areas only. Violators will be asked to leave the event.

We are a full-sized vehicle ONLY off-road park. We do not allow Razors, Rangers, side-by-sides, ATVs, UTVs, or dirtbikes on the trails.

YES! We welcome the people in your life to purchase a ticket to come witness, encourage and experience the event and MERUS with you! But fortunately, only the ladies get to drive.

MERUS Adventure™ is a primitive, outdoor property. And this is an outdoor experience! You will need to bring your own camping gear, camping water, weather accommodating supplies, toiletries, snacks, lunches and gasoline you will need for the weekend.

The closest town with gas and food is Claude, TX located about 15 miles away from the main gates of the park.

We do provide all breakfasts and dinners at the event. All other food & drinks are the guests’ responsibility.

Bring your camp chairs for meals and to cozy up around the campfire at night.

There will be on site bathroom facilities at the main camping area and the main offices will have shower facilities.

All canyon campsites are primitive and pack-in/pack-out areas.

MERUS Adventure™ does NOT have potable/refill water facilities at this time. Check our website for updates!

YES, YES, YES! This is the exact event you SHOULD come to. We have developed this event to include all skill levels of off-roading. Beginner clinics and different level trail runs will be available to everyone. You choose your comfort level and grow from there!

You will need a 4×4 vehicle or a lady who will drive hers for you! If you don’t have a 4×4 vehicle, we can place you with a gal who does (female only). Just purchase an event ticket and choose the “I want to ride” option at checkout. 

Well….it’s both! We have a beautiful property that is meant to be explored! Breathtaking hikes, mysterious caves, braving the elements are all a part of the experience of adventure at MERUS Adventure™.

With over 5,800 acres, the quickest way to fully explore MERUS is by vehicle. And these are not on your standard roads but over rocks, down canyon walls, through tree groves, around cliffs, And it is quite a bit of fun. Have you ever tried it? Now is your chance! Beginner level trails are throughout the property, along with the most elite in off-roading. Mild to wild and everything in between.

Unfortunately, no. You will need to be able to shift your vehicle into 4wd – 4L to be able to drive on the trails at this event. You can still purchase an event ticket as a passenger. Just purchase an event ticket and click the “I wanna ride” button and we will place you with a fellow attendee.
