When we arrived we were told that first we had to ride along in a van for 45 min to where the quads were and then 45 min back. Then we drove small hour with the quads. The route was not super difficult. We rode up to a point and took almost the same route back. We expected more from it. The break that was provided was in a nice cabin in the woods. We were given something to drink and eat there. That was cozy.”
