Dirt Trip Suggestions?

LckyTylr · 01-22-2012, 06:01 PM

I'm headed on a dirt adventure for my spring break this year. Last two years I have gone mt biking, this year we are bringin' the motors. March 24 - ?

Any suggestions of where I should consider? It will have to be somewhere South, as I'm not going to ride on snow. I'm going with two friends from Idaho Falls and one friend from SLC, so we are all going to have to drive at least a hours. Right now, we are looking at Mesquite NV, St George UT or Moab. Anyone been to these areas? Any other suggestions?

Anyone is welcome to join us. one of my buddies is a bit faster than me, and my two other friends are on the cautious end of the riding spectrum.

Moab is great. I have not been myself but we deliver fuel to a couple stations in Moab and they've sent me some pics and it's really gorgeous. Do a search for Moab Jeep adventures and I'm sure something will come up. They have a week long Jeep rally there every year and people come from all over.

If you're looking down towards the St. George, UT or Mesquite, NV area check out Zion instead. Zion National Park has some of the most beautiful country in all of the United States. I'm not real clear on the off highway roads and trails so make sure you check that out as well.

Thank you.

Do your friends that go to Moab know whether or not there are a lot of single track trails? I have nothing against Jeep guys, but I don't want to be one of those "Pesky dirtbikers, always ruining the trails" that the Jeep guys like to play on. Plus, Jeep guys have room for Jeep guns, haha.

but honestly, I'd rather ride single track than a Jeep trail.

Google a Moab guide. There should be a few.

I just posted some video's in the video's section of the Tonto National Forest, AZ.

There are endless and open trails through Moab. I imagine you'll be quite pleased to say the least and that probably wouldn't be to far for everyone to gather.

@ Hands On - Your video inspired me to look further into AZ riding, but I just don't think I'm willing to drive that far. I'd be wondering why I'm driving past Moab and St George, to go another 4 + hours to ride AZ. Who knows, maybe my buddy will drive and pull his toy hauler. thanks for the input though, that ride you posted looks epic. Watching your buddy on the Kawi goofing around on the rocks, that's my kind of fun right there.
