Awesome video! Moving to Kanab Utah next spring/summer from Illinois. Having a house built there. Looking forward to exploring the beautiful southwest. Have been planning for over three years now. Been researching many 50” machines. New subscriber.
Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻😉
great video, i live in Salem Oregon. just bought an ATV. am waiting for the weather too warm up a bit and then hit the trails. thanks. Dave
Great trip videos .. I really enjoyed them. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
great videos just what I was looking for to watch, ATV and camping
+severancetractor Thanks, us too. There's not enough good ATV content online. Be sure to subscribe because we're headed back to Utah this year and next year, and check out our other videos. Enjoy!
I just binged watched all 5 episodes...subbed. Awesome presentation! I belong to the North Idaho Atv Association and after watching how much fun you guys were having I would definitely put this destination on my bucket list. Thank you for such great videos!
Bob, Idaho is on our list for this year, starting in June. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching. This is a great trip. Looking forward to returning!
Thumbs up. Great video. I watched all 5 videos from the Paiute and I will watch more of your videos. I live in Utah and been riding the Paiute Trail for 20 years. You guys did a good job of seeing a lot of the trail and you did a good job of showing it on your video. The Paiute also connects to a number of other trails ( Fremont Trail, Gooseberry, Great Western and more ). The Paunsaugunt Trail is just south of that area and just west of Bryce Canyon N.P. This is a "GREAT RIDE". Also from the Paunsaugunt Trail you can ride Casto Canyon ( Must do ). All these trails connect but I rode from Marysvale to Casto Canyon and back it was 195 miles. It's better to trailer and stay down there. If you would like more info just hook up with me. You guys seem like a fun group to ride with.
+2012prormk Thanks for the comments. This was our first trip to Utah, but definitely not our last. In fact, we're headed to Moab in March. Regarding the Paiute, we are planning a trip back in August of 2017 and Casto Canyon is on our list, as well as the northeast corner of the Paiute loop area. 5 or 6 days just isn't enough to see it all. We'd definitely appreciate any input you have regarding the rides. Plenty of time to plan, but we'll definitely connect. info@waatva.org or claycope@yahoo. Thanks!
awesome video thanks ride safe.
This was a great series on the Paiute trail system. You guys looked like you had fun. I know I did just watching. A great conclusion video to your series would be the equipment (both camping and ATV) you used and what you would suggest for someone planning on taking the same trip. Thanks again.
Thanks Diddley. We had a blast and for us ATV enthusiast, it'd be hard to beat the Paiute ATV trail. Great point about the video series regarding preparing for a trip like this. We do intend to make a video like this before our next big adventure this summer. We're hoping to get back to the Paiute trail system. With over 2000 miles of trails, it'll take a while to explore it all.
Just as an update you mentioned no fuel in circleville. I rode trail last year and filled up with gas at the RV park in circleville. They had just started selling fuel again. Great place friendly management. Check it out.
How do you get back to your vehicles, trucks and trailers? Didn't you start your trip in Richfield?
At the end of Day 1, we drove to the Rose Ranch Resort, which is located in Marysvale. You'll note in the Day 2 video, we started at the Rose Ranch Resort. Marysvale is a centralized place to start a Paiute trip.
***** Looks like it would be a fun place to ride. Its been years since I've camped anywhere. I live within a few hours of Land Between the Lakes or Turkey Bay as it is also known down in Kentucky and camped on a few holiday weekends and rode down there. I wouldn't like having to take everything with you(including fuel). Rather just park in a central location, go out for day long rides and come back to where the truck and trailer is parked and camp there.
+Greg Rowe Greg, you can do what you described if you stay in Marysvale. You could make long day loops, and come back to town every night. In fact, during this trip, there were a few folks who did that a few nights. Regardless of what you choose for your camping / hotel accommodations, this area is definitely worth visiting.
+doomoncharlie We have posted that route details to this page; waatva.org/trails/paiuteatvtrail-2014/. Hope this helps!
I just joined you club and in your comments you plan on doing this ride again in 2017. what size quads were ridden in your video and would a can-am 450 outlander be large enough to make the trip
You did a great job with this series of videos. I'm planning a trip to Utah and this was very helpful. I do have a question though... You mention a lot of 50" trails and how wonderful they are. We have several ATV's and one 53" RZR. Are the 50" trails really 50" or is there a small tolerance that a 53" could make it through? It may be a dumb question but I would hate to miss out on some trails or have one person go another route that is 60" and it's been my experience that a lot of 50" trails have openings that are 55". Secondly, I see that you carried gas cans with you. During your rides on day 1-3, you didn't mention being able to stop in towns and get gas. Were you able to simply get by on the gas you brought or were there times where you stopped in towns to fill up that weren't on camera?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
+Robert Warner Hello Robert, thanks for watching, the compliments, and we're glad it helped.
Regarding the 50" trails, most of the 50" trails have the gate openings. While we didn't measure, I would say that most have an inch or extra clearance. Having said that, the rules are there in place for a reason, and you can / will get fined if caught. From what I gathered before our trip, this was big topic of discussion and a heated one. We actually started the trip out with a 58" rhino, but we have planned alternative routes for the rider, with predetermined GPS waypoint meet up locations. You should do the same for the 53" vehicle not only to be safe, but to follow the rules. The Rocky Ford Canyon trail for example doesn't have posts at the trail head, but I don't think a 53" vehicle would make it on the some the ledges due to the width unless they have made major trail repairs since our trip. This trail should have the posts, and set at 50".
If someone is wider than 50", they will be riding dirt roads 95% of the trip. Don't get me wrong, it'll be very scenic, but the 50" trails are where yo mix in the steep (ish) hill climbs, trails like the Rocky Ford Canyon and Barney Lake, etc. In my opinion, these add the fun factor, while the roads provide nice leisurely riding that you'll have great scenery from.
Regarding gas, we filled up on day 2 before leaving Marysvale, and again on day 3 in Marysvale when we made an unplanned trip to town for some medication. You'll not that after we road trail 88, we connected with trail 24, which is close to town. This wasn't a planned stop, but from there we were able to make it the rest of the trip with just the fuel we carried. Most carried 5 gallon cans, with myself carrying 3, 2 gallon Rotopax for 6 gallons of fuel total. When we returned on day 5, we were out of fuel and we have a few fuel likes blinking at us.
Even loaded down, you end up averaging decent fuel mileage because you cover a lot of miles on the roads. So for example, I knew I could get between 75 and 90 MPG. Most days we covered between 80 and 100 miles of riding. Carrying 6 gallons and having a full tank of gas, I could cover roughly 200 miles before needing fuel. This is why we mentioned on day 5 that gas is in Junction. So it just takes a little route planning and mileage estimations to make sure you have plenty of fuel stops.
This is an epic ATV camp trip that doesn't disappoint. We are already planning a return trip for August 2017, with a mixture of SXS's and ATV's. Of course, we have alternate routes planned for the SXS's. The 50" trails are a must for the ATV riders. Just be sure to loosely plan your routes ahead of time taking into consideration how much gas you'll carry, etc. And of course, have the maps (both nat geo and the national forest maps), a gps that you know how to work ahead of time, and some GPS waypoints that you can meet up with the riders wider than 50". Hope this helps and if you have any more questions come up, don't hesitate to post them. Thanks!

WOW. What a great reply! I'm not a rules breaker so if it's posted 50", 50" it will be. Everyone has an ATV but some of us have Can-Am Renegades which have a pathetic rear rack for hauling gear. I've replaced the small rack on mine with a much larger one but still will be hard pressed to be able to pack everything necessary for camping. My thought was to also bring my RZR as I can put a ton of gear in the rear bed as well as in the passenger space since everyone wants to ride their own. I just didn't want to miss out on all of the cool trails because of 3". I'm going to get the trail maps and compare them to your videos so I know what the RZR driver will miss. I appreciate the coordinates that you provide in the videos. Nice touch!
Thanks again for the rapid reply. I'll study the maps and present my findings and your videos to my friends. We've done trips to Hatfield McCoy in WVA in the past as it's close to us in Ohio. This trip to Utah will require more planning and investment but if done right, should be an awesome trip.
+Robert Warner We posted some additional details about the trip on this page; waatva.org/trails/paiuteatvtrail-2014/
Any chance you guys saved a marked map of the routes you took? This is great! I wish I could find a group of guys that wanted to take these types of trips. I am glad I found your videos.
+PhotonJohn Thanks John and I hope the descriptions and gps waypoints help. Unfortunately our GPS didn't save the tracks. We were bummed about this user error on the trip. If you have the Nat Geo map and the National Forest maps, you can follow along the route we took. Aside from Day 1, we essentially made a counter clockwise loop around the southern half of the Paiute trail. We're looking forward to returning summer of 2017 for a mostly northern loop trip.
+Washington ATV Association Well that's a bummer. If you guys are ever looking for some company give me a shout. I would love to join of course I am down in Texas.
+PhotonJohn Funny because John from these videos and I are both originally from Texas (Tyler area).
+PhotonJohn This recently released page may address your question. Hope this helps; waatva.org/trails/paiuteatvtrail-2014/
+Washington ATV Association Really great info. Thanks so much for putting it all together. I hope to take this trip one day.
Don't be afraid to let some riding do the talking.
Thanks for watching!
