ATV Adventures: Young Powersports presents the ‘Ride Utah Challenge’

Earlier this year, Nick Faulkner of Young Powersports asked me to come up with five trails in the upper half of the state that he could offer as a way to help people know where to ride. I gave him a list of five trails that included detailed instructions to the staging areas, the trails and ...

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

My OHV calendar year needs at least one ride in Southern Utah and this year, so far, I have had three. I wrote about the Poverty Flats ride last week, and this week is another amazing ride from those trails I rode at the Red Rock OHV Jamboree in Kanab. It was billed as the “Hoodoo Trail.” ...

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 ...

ATV Adventures: 31st Rocky Mountain ATV/UTV Jamboree full of OHV fun

Over the years I have been attending OHV jamborees in Utah, I have seen organizers honing in more exactly on what appeals to the OHV community. They all center on the fun things you can do riding OHVs. The Rocky Mountain Jamboree is one of the best. It is held in Richfield, which is situated ...

ATV Adventures: In search of guzzlers on a ride in the Grassy Mountains

ATV Adventures: Casey’s Off-Road Recovery Service to the rescue

Years ago in the spring time, I was driving my van on my way home from Milford. I saw a dirt road and thinking it might be fun, I took it. There were patches of snow on the trail that I joyfully splashed through. Then I came to a long patch of snow. Without a second thought, I gunned it to ...

ATV Adventures: Snowpack moves Beaver jamboree to July

Living in the shadows of the Wasatch Front, I hear news stories about how many feet of snow still blanket our mountains. Cabins are buried and roads high in the backcountry are impassable. Conditions are the same in Beaver where the Beaver County Trails ATV/UTV Jamboree was to be held May ...

ATV Adventures: The Arapeen Jamboree will put you on top of the world

The Arapeen OHV Trails are situated in some of the most beautiful parts of the state. Recently, I wrote about five jamborees scheduled for the west side of the mountain — this article is about one on the east side. This is the second year that the Arapeen Jamboree has been split off from ...
