BigJake, PoPoTom and yours truly are making a trip out to Utah on Sept 3rd to ride what is arguably the best damn ATV destination in the US. The Paiute Trail. We will be joined by some friends of mine from all across the country. Anyone wanting to join the ride is welcome. We are staying and staging out of Marysvale. Here is a description of the trail  The Paiute ATV Trail South-Central Utah's 900+ mile Paiute ATV Trail System, a trail system with no beginning and no end, making it the largest in the nation! It passes through multiple towns and has side trails leading to others. Dirt Wheels magazine rated the Paiute ATV Trail as one of the top 10 trail systems in the country. It has been rated as one of the top 5 trails in the country by ATV Illustrated magazine. Many riders consider the Paiute Trial to be the TOP US trail system. Exploring the Paiute ATV Trail The Paiute ATV Trail system is designed to provide an enjoyable recreation ride through fantastic scenery. The trail system was formed by connecting old roads and trails crossing the Fishlake National Forest with intervening BLM-administered land. Multiple narrow sections of trail were constructed to complete the interconnecting #01 loop. The main #01 trail is 238 miles long, with over 800 miles of marked side trails and an estimated 1900+ miles of additional side forest roads and trails that are open to ATVs and other recreational vehicles thus making the Paiute ATV Trail System the largest in the country.  The Paiute ATV Trail caters to relaxing and family-type riding. Riders along the trails enjoy the scenery and atmosphere of a deeply dense forest, as well as popular activities such as fishing or camping near the path. It is truly impossible to put in writing how people must feel as they sit on a ridge at 11,000 feet looking a hundred miles into the distance, or maneuver their machine through a dense forest on a four-foot-wide trail. The surge of joy and wonder when people see a free-roaming herd of deer or elk is hard to describe. While taking a break on a beautiful canyon trail, one would have to think, "It would be impossible to describe this place - you have to be here!" Just the main loop of the #01 trail is estimated to take approximately 25 riding hours to complete - but that doesn't leave much time for stopping or taking pictures. For comfort and full enjoyment of the trail, the time should be spread out over three to four days. However, riders choosing to explore the thousands of miles of marked and unmarked side forest roads and trails may find themselves riding for weeks.  The Riding Season Every year in April, May, & June, when temperatures begin to rise, people start thinking seriously about the fun of getting out on the trail. They remember the grand times they had on the Paiute, or they dream wistfully about what they have heard or read about the trail.] Spring through fall offers riding opportunities, though each season brings its own experiences and adventures. While spring riding is possible on the lower portions of the trail, snowdrifts usually close the trail over the Pahvants and the Sevier Plateau until early July. This part of the trail traditionally remains closed until mid-to-late July. September and October provide some of the best riding weather on the Paiute Trail. At this time of year the days are brisk, the nights cool, the trees colorful, and the chance of precipitation is low. August is also a good time for the high country, although the lower portions of the trail can be hot. After October storms may close the upper portions of the trail or make riding slightly unpleasant, but not unbearable.  Location Located in South-Central Utah, the Paiute ATV Trail surrounds the towns of Salina, Richfield, Aurora, Elsinore, Monroe, Joseph, Koosharem, Marysvale, Junction, Circleville, Beaver, and many others, making any of these a great place on the trail to set up camp, and explore in every direction. ATV's are allowed on designated city streets allowing easy access to the trail. With plenty of Camping, Hotels, Restaurants, Services, and ATV rentals available. You will find these communities to be the perfect place to stay while you enjoy the many miles of trail. From almost any of these towns you can make nearly every point on the trail within a days ride. Within minutes of downtown you will be enjoying the most spectacular scenery the trail has to offer. As we said, just the the main #01 trail is over 238 miles long, with thousands of miles of marked side trails and other side forest roads and trails, so we suggest that you do it in segments.

From Q. Posted at other forum: For you lucky guys that are coming to Utah. Day 1, Saturday morning. We will all meet at the gas-mini mart in Marysvale, I believe it's called Tuck's. They have fuel for ATV's and humans. Since some maybe arriving late the night before and some may need to just get there $hit together, we will roll out of there at _10a.m. sharp_! There is a small restaurant across the street to get breakfast if needed, before we go. The ride this day will be an easy ride of about 4 hours or so, up to the mining camp and back, with the possibility to go for more. The next days starting times will be earlier, probably same place, no complaining, we didn't come hear to sleep .

ONE WEEK UNTIL WE LEAVE.... Our Ride Itinerary: Day1(Saturday) Roll out of town at 10a.m. on trail # 77 going west to Miners Park, continue on 77, looping back to the other side of the valley and hwy 89 and back into Marysvale. Including a short walking tour of the mine stuff, this would be about 4 hours or so. Then we could head back out on 77 then a quick right to #02 to #01, then either back down on #74 {or if time permits, keep going on down 01 to the Indian Museum(yawn)}, but the ride is cool. If we go the #74 way, we come back down into Hooters(great food) then around the back way into M-vale , via #22 and#02. Day 2 Out of M-vale on #02, going east to, #01 through Manning Meadows to #78 and up, up, up to Monroe Peak(11,226’). Continue on #78 to the town of Monroe, then hit #24 and head back to M-vale. This should be a full day. Day 3 Leave M-vale on #02 going west to #01 continue on #01 going up, up, up by MT. Belknap(12,139’), by Mt. Baldy(12,122’) through Grizzly Ridges, Gunsight Flat and down on into Circleville. Then #32, #33, #35 and #77 into M-vale. This is a definite FULL day. This ride with a few little side trails, took me from sun-up to after dark the 1st time I did it. They have supposedly “tamed”, the rocky steep decent into Circleville.

This has been the best ride I have ever been on....nearly perfect in every way.....great weather, good riders, super trails, extraordinary scenery.......make that breathtaking scenery. Marysvale has every kind of riding you would want except mud. Wide smooth service roads to super tight twisty switchbacks 10,000 ft up the mountainside http://atving.us/utah.html http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4113273&l=fabe39669c&id=671385609
