Just to let you know, June would be early for some of the trails in UT that are in the mountains like the Paiute Trail. A lot of them don't lose the snow until early July.

I live in Michigan and haven't ridden in any dunes yet. If I decide I want to I'll just drive across the state to Silver Lake State Park. It's not quite 3,000 acres which I realize is small compared to some other dunes but I could get a feel for what it's like. DNR - Silver Lake State Park ORV Area Information

I'm too old to be doing stupid tricks. I don't bounce back like I used to.

No, I've never been there. I'd love to ride the Hatfield-McCoy trail system but I don't ride alone anymore and my friends will never go there.

Didn't realize it was a strictly dune trip. There is Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park that has some good dune riding. We did a half day trip there on our way home from the Paiute last fall.

The farthest I've ever traveled to ride is Land Betwen the Lakes in Kentucky. No dunes there but miles and miles of trails. I'm about a 3 hour drive from there.
