Ryan was our tour guide for the 1 hours atv riding and he was great! It was my first time riding so I was little scared -__- but Ryan made sure we still got a great experience. Tips: its a little off roading to get the the area, so make sure you have good tires.

My daughter and I booked an ATV tour, and it was awesome! We're beginners, and learning was easy and riding was exciting. Our guide Silvia and the young lady checking us in were both awesome as well. For anyone concerned that you can't reach them by phone, rest assured that this is a reputable company and they will send all needed information online. Highly recommended!

This place is Fuckin amazing. The view is incredible. Make sure to drive down dirt path SLOWLY! No cell phones allowed on the ride. Keep them in the car. Our host was super cool and easy to follow.

Amazing atmosphere outside of San Antonio! The customer service was great the trainer was amazing! We'll most definitely be back. The vibes were great and the mountains were gorgeous. Nothing but land , dust, climbing and fun- Lakisha Hooper

So much fun!! Definitely will be coming back. The staff was also very nice:)

Beautiful area, great activity, and great staff! It was my first time today and they explained everything thoroughly and our guide was great. Will definitely come back again.

My husband and I decided to take in a little adventure by riding quads with ETM for our 9th wedding anniversary. Had a blast to say the least. Our guide, Silvia was very patient and helpful. I Will book again and definitely recommend!!

ATV meet up area

As first time riders, we had a lot of fun. The guide was very nice. We visited the LA national Forrest site. The ride to the meetup point isn't paved and is very bumpy. You will be going up a very rocky path with steep drop off areas so be prepared for a bumpy climb in the car. I may not have booked the tour if I had known this. I'm not a fan of driving on unpaved roads with steep drop offs. (I didn't see it mentioned in their FAQ site). Wear long pants because the ATV will get hot around your legs if you have in shorts. The GPS coordinates are on point but once we got on the mountain, there are no signs leading you to the ATV site. Look left and you will see a flat area with possibly a large trailer, people and ATV's. That's it. Enjoy the tour. BTW the toilet areas are filthy, so if you are a female, be prepared to find a private bush if you must go to the restroom.

Fun family adventure!

This was a LOT of fun for my family. Had 3 kids from 4-11 and 4 adults... ALL HAD A BLAST!!! We had 3 singles and 1 4 seater. The guide was friendly and always ensured we were doing well, but kept us going fast-paced which we just LOVED! Definitely would come back and definitely would recommend this company and team! AND, extra special was the fact our guide took pictures as we did the trip!

For my bf's most recent birthday, we decided to go quading as his main birthday activity. We were originally gonna rent from a place in Palm Springs, but settled on Enjoy the Mountain since he's been wanting to head up to Lake Arrowhead for awhile. I called in on Sunday and made an appointment for that same Tuesday. Tiffany was super helpful and patient with answering all my questions on the rental deals they had. We ended up booking a two quads for a 2 hour ride for $169 each and we even got a free guide complimentary of a November promotion they were having. The rental included the quads, helmet, gloves, and protective eyewear. They drive you up to the trails and your time doesn't start till you start riding. Because we went on a random weekday, we literally had all the trails to ourselves and it was a pretty amazing experience. All the trails were filled with inclines, declines, and bumps....all of which made for a pretty cool riding experience. I don't know how we would have found our way around if we didn't have that guide, I never once knew where I was the whole time I was out there. Be ready for a pretty physically demanding experience. Our legs and back hurt for the next couple days and we were pretty tired immediately following the activity. I would totally go quading again and Enjoy the Mountain will definitely be on the top of my list for any future adventures. This is definitely an experience I would recommend for anyone looking to do something different.

With the best tour guide, JP!

My bff and I had decided to look for some outdoor adventure before the 4th of July. We found this place on Yelp, but they were completely booked online. We called the business, and they were able to squeeze both of us in at 2:30 for a 2 hour ATV ride. The website had clear and precise directions on how to get to the location, what to wear, and how to electronically sign the waiver form online so you don't waste your allotted time signing forms. Once we arrived, we were greeted by our guide, JP. We highly recommend JP. He was knowledgable, patient, super friendly, and knew the area well. He will also take pictures throughout for you to keep for memories. Make sure you request him if you decide to go, he is awesome!!! He even trains you a bit on the ATV before he takes you around the trail. My bff and I will definitely be back. Next time, we will try the side by side ATV your.

We practiced in the parking lot first and then went on the trails

My fiancée and I came for the dog park, which was literally a walk to the left past the actual parking lot. Spacious with a few trees and limited spots for shade.

Stayed at an Airbnb close by and my kids wanted to explore the outdoors. Found this trail and it was prefect for what we were looking for. My 8 year olds enjoyed the view from the top, saw squirrels and birds, and only got tired towards the end. There is a dirt path and signs posted making it easy to follow. There were lots of trees providing shade and a cool feel. There were a few areas (stumps/down trees/rocks) to sit and rest at and some inclines, but nothing too strenuous or steep. It was very quiet and peaceful, and it felt like we were the only ones out there. Although we ran into 3 couples during our hike, we had the trail pretty much to ourselves.

When we arrived, there was limited parking and no restrooms from when I seen so be sure to handle your business before you come. We weren't exactly sure where the trail began so we walked up the steep paved road and took a right at the top of the road and began the hike. This trail is full of incline areas so if you are expecting a nice stroll around the woods, you'll be sadly mistaken. I'd say this hike is closer to medium difficulty but it's a great time and very rewarding once you reach the top. Sadly you only get a "peek a boo" view of the lake due to the trees being in the way but hey that's nature for ya! This trail took a little over an hour for myself and my wife to complete and that's with peaks and taking in the scenery. I highly recommend this trail, the views, fresh air etc. is amazing!

We had driven from Arizona for some cooler weather and had the hardest time simply finding a good spot for the kids to play and swim without needing to pay a fortune (We dont have to pay to swim in lakes in Arizona which I didn't know was a novelty??) We rented a cabin by Arrowhead lake and found out AFTER we got there that it is a private lake. We were told by locals that a great family lake was Lake Gregory which was about 20 minutes away. We drove to lake Gregory only to be told by park rangers that we cant swim in the lake unless we go to the designated family beach area and pay $10 per person (adults and children included) to use a small crowded beach area. That particular day I gave in and paid so my children could have some fun outside and in the water. I was determined to continue looking... FINALLY, I searched for rivers, streams and hiking nearby to get some peace and adventure and came across this little gem. Maybe we got lucky since it was in the middle of the week, but there were very few people on the trail, not to mention only one other family with kids at the swimming hole that my kids played with. The water was clean and cool, it was not crowded, there was ample shade and sandy beach areas...it was PERFECT. I would highly recommend this area for family use.

Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. We reserved a cabana and arrived as soon as the lake opened, only to find guests setting up pop-up tents directly in front of the cabanas, completely obstructing our view of the lake. During our previous visits, tents were not permitted in this area--which is part of what made paying extra for a cabana worthwhile. I brought the issue to both the cabana hostess and the office. I explained that had we known pop-up tents would be allowed directly in front of us, we would have brought our own instead of spending the additional money on a cabana. The only solutions offered were to move or leave. I wasn't asking for a full refund--just a reasonable discount because the experience we paid for was clearly compromised--but the manager refused. To make matters worse, the wind later picked up and the tents began blowing around, creating the exact type of safety concern this policy should prevent. We've enjoyed this lake in the past, but the manager's poor handling of the situation and complete lack of customer service left us extremely disappointed. If you're considering paying extra for a cabana, I recommend confirming beforehand whether tents will be allowed to set up directly in front of it. Otherwise, the cabana may not be worth the additional cost.

We flew from NorCal to on 1/7/17 with 3 adults and my 12 year old nephew, to visit Santa's Village. Though I remember stories about it, I never got to visit them before it had burned down. Until now.... All of us had a blast! The lines had thinned out from December so the longest line we waited in was about 20 min to ride the train. We got to have a private audience with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The elves took us as a family in to meet Santa, just by ourselves. I think the way they do this is really wonderful because it feels very personal and private. Every person on staff is AMAZING! Smiling, energetic, having fun, being extremely helpful, and stellar customer service. They made sure we knew what attractions were open, where to go, etc. The women's bathrooms were kept excellent and clean. We lucked out with no rain. We rode Arrow's Adventure. Ate a lovely meal at Gatherings which is a bit higher end and also quieter, and they were able to accommodate with vegetarian for one of us. We made candy cane reminders at Santa's Workshop. My 12 yr old nephew ice skated for the first time and climbed the Bouldering Room inside rock wall. We got to ride the Polar Express Train. We panned for crystals and gold. We played in the snow, throwing snowball fights - So fun! We shopped a little, played a little, ate a little and left filling that wonderful tired, content feeling when you had the most perfect day. Price Many others complain about the price but I think it was so worth it. This cannot be compared with Disneyland or Great America or Magic Mountain.... it's apples to oranges. What Santa's Village brings is MAGIC. I certainly empathize with those who are challenged with the price and hope you'll save even a few bucks per week to come. This is not a big corporation with unlimited funds; it's a small group of dedicated people, who not only invested millions to restore and re-imagine this place, they also, I can only imagine, gave their the blood, sweat and many tears to bring this dream into reality. The price of a ticket is not just an entry in for the day but an investment in creating something that is bigger and brighter for this world. Look around, the world needs more play, wonderment, curiosity, magic and kindness! You will find all of that at Santa's Village!! I'm looking forward to returning later in 2017 to experience the zip line as well as all of their hiking and biking trails... so grateful and wish I could shake the hands of all those involved for making this happen. Also applaud them for not using animals in their attractions. And for being fully ADA compliant.
