EctoVentures specializes in guide services and event planning for all types of offroad and outdoor activities, from scenic beginner trail tours to advanced technical rock crawling instruction, including day hikes, family bbq’s and overnight camping trips. On any of our guided offroad tours, you'll learn the basics of trail etiquette and safety preparedness, as well as vehicle-saving recovery metho
ds, while enjoying some of the most scenic and beautiful terrain of the local San Bernardino mountains, and deserts of Lucerne Valley. EctoVentures’ goal is to bring the new Jeep driver to new experiences, and to help advance his or her offroad driving skills. Events are categorized and tailored to appeal to drivers of all skill levels. Beginner events will encourage the new driver in learning to become more comfortable with his vehicle and learn basic technical offroading skills. An advanced event will challenge the more experienced driver with his rock crawling techniques and recovery knowledge. Family-friendly events may include a half- or full-day of Jeeping, scenic hiking, picnic lunch and games, or an overnight camp-out. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced driver, whether your rig is brand new or fully built, we’ll get you matched up with the event that is right for you, and we'll provide all the instruction to help you build your skill and confidence behind the wheel. Join us throughout the year as we navigate the great trails of Southern California, and experience new, scenic, and challenging destinations.
