ImageAUBURN HILLS, Mich. —Volkswagen is inviting the public to come to Moab, Utah to experience their Touareg sport utility vehicle as part of a professionally guided, off-road adventure through some of America’s most ruggedly beautiful landscapes.

Volkswagen is presently taking reservations for what is being called, “TouaregAdventure,” a three-day, off-roading excursion through picturesque canyons and challenging terrains.  The first weekend adventure kicks off  July, 2007 and last is scheduled at the end of October.  

You don’t have to be an experienced off-road driver because there will be experienced guides who’ll coach guests through the spectacular but challenging Moab terrain.

ImageTouaregAdventure is an opportunity to learn how to safely navigate the wilds of Moab, in a capable vehicle with experts to guide the way.  They guarantee that you’ll go places “you never thought a vehicle could go.”  This trip should tantalize the senses with dramatic views of the Colorado River and its famous red rock cliffs.

The Touareg earned its off-road credentials winning the Paris – Dakar rally and racing in the Baja 500 and combines this background with its reputation as a premium and sporty SUV.  Most buyers only see how it handles the pavement but they’ll be in for a treat when they explore its talents as a sure-footed mountain goat.

“It’s our goal to introduce our special guests to one of the country’s most gorgeous natural environments, in the comfortable confines of our new Touareg,” said Steve Keyes, general manager public relations, Volkswagen of America. “At the conclusion of our program, we’re confident that our guests will have had a wonderful time, with a new confidence in their off-road driving skills and the capabilities of our SUV.”

ImageThe TouaregAdventure is led by two professional Moab guides, Program Director J.B. Reynolds and Head Guide Dan Mick.  These two off-roading experts will lead the session group through some of Moab’s most popular trails, demonstrating the safest way to navigate confidently in each Touareg.  After participants leave, they will have been taught how to navigate the many off-road challenges they will face.

During the trip, guests will stay at the critically-acclaimed Sorrel River Ranch and Spa.  The resort has been named one of Southwest America’s top destinations, offering guests the finest in gourmet dinners and assorted wines.  Beats sleeping on the ground .

ImageVacation packages for the TouaregAdventure™ are $2,000 per participant, which doesn’t include airfare to either of the closest airports; Grand Junction, Colorado or Canyonlands Field, Utah.

For each reservation, the package includes: an advance welcome kit, single occupancy resort lodging and meals at Sorrel River Ranch, wine with dinner and drinks from the bar, airport shuttles to and from Grand Junction, Colorado, or Canyonlands Field, Moab, Utah, and up to three days of guided, off-road adventure.  Special pricing and accommodations may be available if sharing a room or for a companion to join the group only at mealtimes.

This is the kind of adventure you’ll be sure to remember and something you won’t find at any theme park.
