New public archery range opens at Antelope Island State Park

It only took one try for Cody Jones to pop the balloon attached to a red ribbon at the new archery range at Antelope Island State Park on Wednesday morning. The professional archer from Roy, representing Wilde Arrow Archery at the event, has been shooting since he was 4 years old, so it only ...

ATV Adventures: Discovery and memories on the Skyline Trail in Davis County

With the record snowpack this year and reports of deep snow at the top of Farmington Canyon, I wanted to see for myself what the trail conditions were on this second Saturday in July. I found four friends willing to join me. This was an exploratory ride, but as we climbed the trail up ...

ATV Adventures: Joining the Sunset Ride on the Arapeen Trail System

It is one thing to write about the Arapeen Sunset UTV Ride as I did in the March 16 edition of the Standard-Examiner. It is another thing to actually do this ride. I arrived in Ephraim with my brother-in-law, Mike Timothy. We were in time to check into our motel and line up for the ride and ...

ATV Adventures: Hoodoos, pinnacles and water glyphs in Red Rock Country

ATV Adventures: A prosperous ride on the Poverty Flats Trail

The Poverty Flats Trail was one of the ride choices offered at the 2023 Red Rock ATV/UTV Jamboree in Kanab. I was fortunate to be able to land a spot on this ride with Dale Grange as our guide. He is a member of the Tri-State OHV Club and he is very familiar with Southern Utah trails. This ...
