Adventure comes in all shapes and sizes, yet, we feel it is hard to discover new adventures. So, the editors at The Adventure Travel Network have teamed up to create a space highlighting the best adventures we have heard about each week. Without further adieu, we give you the coolest adventures we found this week:

Rent a UTV and Rip Around the Desert Trails of Sedona, AZ
Sedona, AZ is one of our favorite places to adventure because it offers almost everything you could ask for; hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, stunning views, vortexes, great food… the list goes on and on. Yet, this past year we had the opportunity to experience Sedona in a new way, trail riding in a UTV. I have to say, what a treat!
Don’t worry, you don’t have to own a side-by-side to enjoy this adventure, you can rent one from any of the local shops, we rented from Polaris Adventures, as long as you have an American driver’s license. Let me just pause here, being able to rent a side-by-side UTV without any off road experience is going to blow you mind and I really do not know how they allow you to do this!
Once you have made it through the pre-checks and clicked your seat belt, it is time to hit the trail.
For most, a half day of terrorizing the trails of Sedona on your rented UTV will leave your body sore from the thrashing you receive when going fast and your adrenal glands empty. I can say from experience, clocking in at 72 mph on a trail that twists and turns requires laser focus and a quick reaction time. Maybe I should put a disclaimer here saying “don’t try this at home” but I want you all to give this adventure a go.
If I could afford to own one of these adventure mobiles, I would. For now, I’ll stick to renting.

Our standards for testing and reviewing at The Adventure Travel Network:
Here at The Adventure Travel Network we have a dedicated group of testers who are required to live the experiences and adventures to be allowed to recommend them. Our recommendations are not sponsored, unless noted, and speak from the heart about every experience. Our aim is to share both the good and the bad so you understand what the experience would be like if you decide to partake. The only exception to this rule is if it is a news story, but then the writer will interview the person who did the adventure.
If you have any questions or comments about the products or reviews, you can write us at editors@the-adventure-travel-network.com
