Looks absolutely beautiful! I am guessing I would have to put back on my stock tires and wheels to fit through the gates since the 850XP is much wider with ITP wheels and tires.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, it's the country not me.


Lovebug and I rode into Marysvale today to pick up our mail.


We decided to go back up that little canyon that we went up last week.


Tequila also goes good with pink lemonade too.


Sporting one of my favorite shirts.


There are some awfully colorful rocks up here.


This is a fun little canyon.


I think this guy is keeping an eye on his canyon.


The new tires don’t seem to lack in the traction department.


Once at the top we turned around and came back down.


Here we are back at the entrance to the canyon, that’s Marysvale in the background.


This was headed home and these are the times that I wish I had a better camera.
That’s a bald eagle up there and looking at him through the binoculars he was HUGE!!!


We stopped here along the river about 2 miles from home and this is where we were at when we saw the eagle.

We went for another ride yesterday and got into some pretty deep snow.
Not being a big bore I’m still pleased where this old Rubicon takes us.


Yesterday was the first time we wore our helmets in years.


We ended up at a dead end and we only had one way out, down.

Low range, ESP 2nd gear wide open throttle.


It was fun.


And the snow was knee deep.


And at the end of the day we rode off into the sunset.

Looks like good challenging fun. Going down that hill is where a heavier machine has an advantage. Your's did great. Once again, great pics.

After I stated to read this thread I have been mapping out the distance, watching all the videos on the atv tv site and overall drooling about going. Too bad its almost 24 hours away. I tried to get the group to go but its too far for them. I will get there one day for sure! :-)

Thanks everyone, we do have a lot of fun.

There are quite a few people who fly into Vegas (airfare is cheaper to LV than Salt Lake) rent a car and drive the 4 hour drive to Marysvale and rent machines, there's a huge variety of make and models for rent here from 350 Ranchers to Polaris 2-ups, Rangers, RZR Rhinos and everything else (I don’t recall ever seeing any sport quads for rent).

Probably not the cheapest but the quickest and I'm sure there are "group" rates available.

Due to the snow not all of the trails are open until late July and October is our favorite time of year to ride. The temps are cooler and the fall colors are great.

If I can ever help with anything please don't hesitate to ask.

Kenny

Moving 5 hrs closer and to the country. Just took a job at Iowa State University. Only 18 hrs now. Totally doable. Maybe next fall if if all works out. Late November a good time?
