On the way into Palm Springs, via CA-111, we passed a place along the road that had a bunch of quads out front with a rental sign.  Offroad Rentals has a bunch of private acreage that they have turned into a nifty ATV park.  Max, Lucy and I trekked out there and had a great time.  It was a bit pricey, but worth it.  Lucy was a little nervous at first, but the lady that did the instruction was nice and helped her out.  The throttle was a bit stiff for Lucy and so she had to take frequent thumb breaks.  Max eventually got the hang of shifting.

Desert Quad riders are too tough to smile.
