What to Bring to Be Fully Prepared for a Jeep Tour in Southern Utah

Booking a Jeep tour in Southern Utah is the first step to an unforgettable adventure—but to make the most of it, you’ll want to come prepared. From blazing sunshine to red rock dust, the desert has its own personality, and having the right gear will make your experience even better.

At Off The Grid 4x4 Tours, we provide the Jeep, the expert guide, and the adventure. You just need to bring a few essentials to stay comfortable and ready for whatever the trail throws your way.

Must-Haves for Your Jeep Adventure

1. Water

Southern Utah is dry and sunny almost year-round. Staying hydrated is key, so bring a reusable water bottle or hydration pack. Even if you think you won’t need it, trust us—you will.

2. Sun Protection

The desert sun is strong, even on cooler days. Be sure to bring:

• Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)

• Sunglasses with UV protection

• A hat (baseball cap or wide-brim for extra coverage)

3. Comfortable Clothing

Dress in lightweight, breathable layers. Morning rides can be cool, while afternoons heat up quickly. If you’re visiting in winter, a jacket or hoodie is a must. Pro tip: avoid white clothes unless you’re okay with them turning “Utah red.”

4. Sturdy Shoes

Flip-flops aren’t your friend on a Jeep trail. Wear closed-toe shoes or sturdy sandals with straps—you’ll thank us when you’re climbing out for photos or exploring rocky overlooks.

5. Camera or Phone

The views are jaw-dropping, and you’ll want to capture them. Make sure your phone or camera is charged, and consider bringing a strap to keep it safe while bouncing along the trail.

6. Snacks

While our tours keep you busy, it’s always nice to have a granola bar or trail mix on hand, especially if you’re bringing kids.

7. Sense of Adventure

This one doesn’t fit in a backpack—but it’s the most important thing to bring! Be ready to laugh, get a little dusty, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Optional But Nice to Have

• A light bandana or neck gaiter (helps with dust on windy days)

• Chapstick with SPF

• Small backpack to keep everything together
