I've been planning this trip for two years now, and it begins tomorrow. The plan is to ride my ATV from my house to Duck Creek, UT (50 miles), then to Circleville, UT, then complete a loop on the Fremont and Paiute Trail systems, finally riding to Beaver, UT, then back to my home by another 60 miles on the High Desert Trail system. The hard part will be the distances between some fuel stops. Here is a picture of my ATV ready to go tomorrow morning, with a fuel load for 200 miles between fill-ups, and all of my camping gear, food, and cloaths.



The adventure begins, ... tomorrow morning. Wish me well.

Don't forget to waive when you pass me here at Big Rock Candy Mountain.

 

Wow man sounds like a blast, have fun and take lots of pic's to post here. Here is wishing you an event free ride. Update us when you return

 

Got back just before dark tonight. What a fantastic ride, one of the best ever for me. The weather was perfect, the fall colors were spectacular, and not one single problem came up. I got to see lots of wildlife on this trip, including a heard of elk that crossed right in front of me on a 50" wide trail in heavy timber. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Early on day one, crossing a lava bed in the Markagunt Trail System.


Critters in the road.

More fall colors, midway between Yankee Meadows Reservoir and Panguitch Lake.

 

Day two: Rocky Ford Trail on the Fremont Trail System.


Same place on the trail, taken from another angle.

Day Three: Top of the 01 trail, west of Circleville, UT; Paiute Trail System.


Trail 68, headed down to Beaver, UT; Paiute Trail System.

 

Looks like a beautiful time of year to be riding that area. Those aspens look great against the deep blue sky. Glad you had a great trip. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

 

I'm jealous. I live here and have not made it to the Rocky Ford trail yet.

Thanks for the pictures and I'm glad it was "uneventful".
