Your tour starts near Chrysotile with a short safety talk before you board our 6‑seat off‑road vehicles. You’ll ride as a passenger along dirt and rock roads through Ash Creek Canyon, taking in cliffs, desert scenery, and creek side views. After about 30 minutes of off‑roading, you’ll reach a private meadow along Ash Creek, where the hiking portion begins.
From there, you’ll hike roughly three‑quarters of a mile following the creek, navigating obstacles like boulders, a small dam, logs, and shallow water crossings. As you continue, the canyon narrows and the creek bed transforms into Moon Canyon—a hardened mix of smooth river rocks and sediment that creates the “moon‑like” surface this tour is named for. You’ll have time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the cool creek and canyon walls before hiking back the same way to the vehicles and returning to the starting point.
