Utah - ATV Trails

I am planning a July 2014 trip to south Utah for some ATV trail riding around the Bryce Canyon area. We will probably spend 6 or 7 days in the area.

I am interested in any specific information someone might share concerning good places to camp that also have access to the trails.

I have contacted via online email the Forest Service for information. I expect a lot of 'general' information from them.

I have found many Internet sites advertising commercial services - not interested.

There are many Internet sites for the government ATV trails also. At this juncture, I have information overload.

I would appreciate a "been there, done that" response.

Thanks - Jim

  • I don't have a lot of experience with Utah trails but I've done the trails around Ruby's Inn and I was not impressed. They were so "nice" they were no longer an ATV/UTV trail. I could've driven my truck camper down those roads.
  • Funny you should ask......we are leaving this month to head out to southern Utah with our UTV. Its our first time out with the UTV. Been thru the area about 3 years ago but just drove thru. My wife bought a great book on Amazon listing many of the ATV/UTV/Jeep trails with descriptions, mile markers, degree of difficulty, nearby CGs etc, etc, etc. It looks like it will come in very handy for the trip. The book was written by a guy who ran the trails and then critiqued them. Its broken up into 4 areas(north,south, east, west) around Moab.
  • Wow Jim you are a glutton for punishment:B. Going there in July you want the buzzards to come and find you on the trail somewhere :E.

    I think for that time of year I would go to Colorado and go for the high mountain passes there probably a little cooler. I might try to make the CO next year for some ATVing.

    Good Luck.

    Oh and congrats on that new truck looks great. Still going to have to get with you one of these days for a cup of coffee and a chat.
