here's a couple other videos on the "candy-***" trail.



not saying that it is "difficult" but when one of my tires dropped into the bottom of the ruts I about went over backwards - going down was a breeze - going up you need to pay a little more attention.

Looking forward to your trip out here - who are you renting machines from??

We're renting a mix of Suzuki's and RZR 570s through Moore's Inn. Get a slightly better deal with the inn. Not sure how a poor 400 will do with me on it though...

Cool
Looks like fun and some great scenery. I just looked up I'm 12-14 hrs away from there if I went through Denver. Sure beats any trails here in KS.

Specta, knowing how poorly video captures the size of rocks and the steepness of the hill, I'm sure that second, especially, is a tough hill. Got a lot of those out this way. Just greener.

it's about time but still not high on my priority list - if I were to buy a new ATV today I would buy a 750i Brute Force - funnest ATV I have ever ridden

the Paiute Trail has never been known for it having tough trails - it was intended and is still promoted as a "scenic" trail trail system - killer scenery and just plain awesome to ride - you are going to have an awesome time I promise

I was wondering about something. On the National Geographic map I bought of the Paiute Trail it shows the trail going right along the ridge of the Pavant Range. Looks like it would be one of the most breathtaking rides I could imagine. Is it possible to leave from Marysvale and ride that ridge line and get back in one day?

Sorry for the time lag

It's been many years since I crossed that trail Moose and can't remember.

To me one of the most "scenic" rides is 01 across the Tusher Mountains -

are long all day rides good for you??

Are you in the cabins or in the motel??

make sure you sign up for breakfast in the motel -

I am planning at this point to ride Tuesday and Wednesday with you - if you'll let me.
