So my son has been itching to ride ATVs for the longest time. Due to his not having a license or…read morecosts, we just were not able to pull it off. He got to do it finally at scout camp, and has been wanting to go again now that he is of age and has a license. While here on vacation, American ATV Rentals fit our needs and the almost full day trip was quite the experience. Owners David and Tina were most professional and helpful with every step of our excursion. We had a lot of choices to make. First was what kind of vehicles were we going to use. They had the ATVs, 2 and 4-seaters, and some were meant for those over 200lbs which we all needed (slight extra charge for that). We also had to decide what length of "tour" we wanted. We had three drivers and four people, so we went with a two-seater and two ATVs all with the upgraded suspension for the weight. We then chose the 4 hour tour which for most should be the right amount of time for the 44 or so mile loop or back and forth from just about the midpoint. The course was explained and different points of interest and also points of reference to not get lost. I'm glad my wife was our guide on this trip! Next was the safety equipment. We were all provided with helmets and goggles all of which fit well and snug over glasses without any problems. They also provide gloves. All must be worn 100% of the time you're riding or else. They also will provide backpacks and bungee cords. They sell water if needed. We then went outside and got acquainted with our vehicles. How to start them, put in gear, brakes, and rules of the road. We were then on our way! David brought us to a point, gave a more detailed explanation of the course and what to look for. Only at the time we left did our "4-hour tour" time start. We were expected at the end to top off all gas tanks (high grade fuel only) and come back to the business. The trip along so many different views and geological points was awesome. And then almost right at the start I rolled my machine on the side. The gas tank cover came off and I was spilling fuel. Thankfully I wasn't seriously hurt and got up quickly to put it back on four wheels. It drove just fine and I didn't have a flat. I just had some brush burn and a small cut on my elbow. The other negative was just past the 3/4 mark. My son's ATV just stopped and would not move in gear. It revved up but would not engage in gear forward or backward. We ended up pulling out the tow strap on the two-seater and towed it in neutral the final few miles. I had to apologize to my kid for all the dust. You are allowed to stop anywhere for pictures and if you want a souvenir you can take it as you're not in the State park. We did not see any others on our whole route...just some cows. We finally made it to the gas station almost next door to the ATV business, topped off the tanks, and made it back. I was pleased as punch that the ATV I rolled made it back. My wife and I changed at the midpoint so I drove and eventually towed the broken ATV in the two seater, and my wife drove the rolled ATV. Once back (about 25 minutes late due to the issues) I explained our problems on the trip and David was understanding. I did have to pay a 20% depreciation cost for the damage I caused to the ATV. We weren't charged for the issue with the other ATV. This was within the contract we signed and waivers. It was less than I expected, and we just made it work. Overall, my whole family had a great time driving even with the issues we experienced. Some pointers I highly recommend: wear long sleeves, pants, and boots (not sneakers). You will get very dusty. Bring a lot of water and maybe snacks or sandwiches. Remember, however, time stopped does not extend your tour time. The sun beats down and you will get sunburned. There's very little shaded areas. We were told when we asked that the routes we took were classified as mostly beginner to some intermediate level driving. 25mph maximum based on Utah laws, but you're not doing that on these trails. My family and I highly recommend American ATV Rentals for a fun time. It's not cheap, but it was worth the experience! $1000 for the two ATVs and two seater for a four hour tour, safety review, map review, and you have to gas them up before returning them with premium fuel. I also paid a bonus $175 for the 20% of depreciation costs of the damaged parts. Oh well. The shower once we got home and two Tylenol was awesome.

The trails are un-groomed, rutted & rocky dirt with small hills & an obstacle course thru trees that aren't much wider than the ATV so it was tricky. It was SO fun! I laughed & held my breath at the same time. Our lead was Tony who did a terrific Job guiding us thru. I don't know how he knew which trails we were on, there were so many choices. I recommend this to anyone who wants a one hour thrilling experience!

We had a very disappointing experience trying to rent e-bikes here. From the beginning, the…read morecustomer service was off-putting. When we asked basic questions about how to use the bikes, the woman helping us seemed irritated and impatient, giving us attitude for not understanding right away. Despite that, we made a reservation for the next morning at 10:00. Later that evening, we realized we'd need a later time, so my husband called and was told a 12:00 reservation was no problem. We arrived at 12:00 sharp--and the place was completely closed, with a sign on the door saying they'd be back at 12:30. Frustrating, but we decided to wait. At 12:45, three employees finally showed up, casually strolling in with sodas, saying they were at a company lunch. My husband let them know we'd been waiting 45 minutes, and instead of apologizing or offering to make it right, the guy became immediately confrontational. When we tried to explain that someone had approved our 12:00 reservation, he repeatedly said, "We don't do 12:00 reservations," over and over, as if we were lying or mistaken. No accountability, no attempt to make it right--just blame and attitude. No effort at all to smooth things over or take responsibility. Honestly, the worst customer service we've experienced on our trip. We ended up walking away--and thankfully, we hadn't paid anything upfront. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. We ended up renting from inside the National Park and had a great experience.

Mossy Cave Trail is outside the fee area for Bryce Canyon Canyon National Park, and I'm not sure if…read morethe rangers check if you've paid. Anyways, I have an annual pass so I didn't worry about it. This is one of the lowest elevation hikes in the park as well as one of the only hikes that begins with a climb and ends with a descent, so if you're not sure about your endurance and want an easy, safe hike where you won't get stuck, this hike is for you! You can see hoodoos, and also Tropic Ditch Falls. It's not a waterfall in the usual sense, as it's a result of a man-made canal that diverted water from East Fork of the Sevier River to Bryce Canyon. I would say that the view was....ok. The trail also leads you to Mossy Cave, which isn't a cave but a sheltered overhang. I was in the season where there wasn't any moss, nor any icicles. It was pretty cold temperature-wise in the grotto. This is a low-effort, low reward type of hike, which is ok. In comparison to the beautiful views that you can get in the scenic drive inside the park, I would say skip this trail if you're short on time and wanting views.

5/5 - Nature, Dust, and Jeff's Slightly Disappointing Printing Company…read more If you're in Bryce Canyon City and NOT renting an ATV from Bryce Wildlife Outfitters, what are you even doing with your life? We did the 4-hour tour, which was the absolute sweet spot--long enough to see everything, short enough to still walk the next day. Jeff, our ATV guru and cartographer-in-chief, gave us excellent instructions and very thorough maps. We were all set for adventure, except... the lake on the map wasn't blue. Not in real life (it was gorgeous), only on the map. Apparently Jeff's printer missed that note and he was genuinely disappointed about it, which made it 10x funnier. A+ for effort and printer-induced emotional honesty. The ride took us through Dixie National Forest, which sounds like a theme park but is actually full of 3,000+ year-old bristlecone pines that make you rethink all your life choices. We had epic views of hoodoos, mountain vistas, and the reservoir that was a beautiful blue. Wildlife count: * Osprey? Unfortunately None. * Prairie dogs? Also nope. * Their homes? Absolutely. We stared into a lot of empty holes with hopes and dreams but nothing. In total, we covered about 45 miles and only said "WOOHOO!" about 137 times. If you're looking for a dusty, scenic, laughter-filled ride with some seriously ancient trees and an unreasonably charming host named Jeff--this is it. Would 10/10 ride again. Jeff, hire a new printer. You deserve it.

This review is for the Willis Creek Slot Canyon Trail. I've heard of them but never been to one,…read moreand we decided to stop here on the way home to our rental. To get to the trail head, you have to drive in on an unpaved five or so mile road which is scary at times. Make sure you have clearance for your car like the sign says before coming. Our Toyota 4Runner made it through without any problems. After what seems like an eternity because you can't go fast, we got to the head. There's a sign-in book for names, where you're from, and if you're a day or evening/overnight group. Now off to the Slot Canyon! This trail is marked as easy. It's mostly gravel rocks and little steps. My son the adventurous one wanted and did make his own excursion from what others surely have done before. Since it was late afternoon, we decided on a half hour in and then a turn around. The major slot canyon is pretty close to the start of the trail, and it's rather epic. The rocks are so smooth and it can be peaceful in there. I believe because of the remoteness of the canyon, it never seems to be crowded. I would recommend honking shoes, not sneakers, and appropriate clothing for the sun that will bear down on you. Bring lots of water. Watch out for the horse poop! If we weren't so exhausted after a long day, we probably would have hiked along the trail much longer than a half hour, but we definitely got the flavor we were looking for. Have you ever been to an amusement park like Disney where they create mountains and rocks? I can say I've been to the real deal and it's much better.
