I met John (goyard) here on this board and joined him on a trip he had already planned. We spent a week at Bryce canyon and a week at Marysvale UT. which is about 60 miles north of Bryce canyon. I put a little over 500 miles of trail riding on my ArcticCat on the trip. We had a great time and I want to go back later in the year when the leaves are changing. UTAH has so many nice trails you never run out of new ones to ride. I took 160 pictures but these are the best ones. Thanks to Jim & Terri at the South Forty RV park in Marysvale UT www.southfortyrvpark.net for helping us with the trail selections. They have rode most of the trails. Yes in some of the pictures that is snow in July.

Looks Great!!!!

Sweet!!!!!

Would love to go there.

Yep, some of those spots look awfully familliar. Was that deer creek trail that starts at Hoovers?

Yes some of the pictures are, but we started at South Forty RV park up to Silver creek mine and down deer creek trail to Hovers then back to the RV park. Hoovers has excelent food also. Like the "T" shirts said not Hooters, Hoovers.

Hey Don Thanks for the pictures you sent Lets go to St Anthony's and then to Marys vale next July. Big Bear was a blast. Just me and the boys went camped out. Left the trailer at home would'nt fit in campground. Looks like going to Ocotillo Wells for Labor Day, Staying at Blu -Inn.

We just got back from Marys and what a trip...

The food at Hoover was great and the Jam was packed full of fun. We had a booth at the Jam and had meet alot of fine folks who love there rides, we were able to sneak away on some of the rides and didn't want to come back home... Could spend another week just riding.

Will definitely go again.... The only issue was that the town rolls up the streets at 8 pm.

Is that SNOW I see on the Mountains???
Beautiful area, looks like you guys had a great time

Yes it was snow in July.

Beautiful pics!!! Looks a LOT like Joe's Valley, Utah. If you want to camp on a lake next time, you really should look into it.

We stay at Rubys Inn on the way home from Joe's Valley, iFly turned me on to that place. It's awesome.

Beautiful riding up there in Utah!!

Thanks for sharing those pics!!!!

That is funey, Ifly turned me on to the Bryce canyon trails also. We were at St Anthony's and Ifly was going to Bryce on the way home and I ask him about Bryce since I live in AZ and had to go down Hwy 89 right past Bryce on the way home. Well we stopped there for the day but I had my sandrail in the trailer and couldn't do any trails I always thought I would come back. Man if you like trails UT rocks. Now I have to see where Joe's Valley is.

Maps and stuff are on page one. The pics from our last trip start around 13. It's one of my favorite places!

Crappy cell phone pic of the lake. Joe's Valley Resivour.

I have driven by so many times, one day will have to make a trip up just for the trail riding. Thanks for posting. Nice job.

Yes there are lot of places. Close to Bryce canyon around the Tropic reservoir there were lots of places, some of them had running water. Here is picture of the reservoir http://www.waterquality.utah.gov/watershed...es/TROPICRS.pdf
At Marysvale there was a great one at miners park which is in the mountains behind Marysvale, nice dirt road to the park. Here are some picture I took at miners park, the RV area is 200 ft from here. The camping is next to the stream.

Very nice pictures thanks for posting. I have only been to Utah 2 times, both times in June. The skies have looked so crystal blue, just awsome.

You were on the Paiute trail, right? My family owns a home in Koosharem, UT (very close to Marysvale) and I love riding the Paiute.

Here are some of my pictures:

Great pictures, what area of the Paiute trail did you take them? I would like to ride there my next trip.

We just take the road up into the Fish Lake National Forest from Koosharem. We looked at the maps on the page listed below to plot a course through the trail system from there. Some of the trails can get pretty difficult. I actually blew my Banshee engine up riding the trail in the last picture I posted. My Raptor does a much better job out there!

I must add that, as you may know already, quite a few of the trails are limited to vehicles that are 50" wide. So some SXS's may not fit.

I have a map I bought at SouthForty RV but there are some trails with numberes posted that is not on my map. One thing if you like to ride trails UT has tons of them.
DON~~~

Gorgeous!!

I'd be afraid to go back to Utah as I may never come home.

I love that little town koosharem . We spend alot of are summers in the Fish Lake area

Lots at Joe's Valley as well.

We wanna try the Mt. Baldy campsite one day. But, I've seen people camping all over the place! I don't think there are any restrictions at all, except what you are capable of getting to!

this looks like fun!!

Looks like a good time. What was the elevation there? Thanks for sharing the photos.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

I just checked my GPS
Ruby Inn was 7,669 ft.
South Forty RV Marysvale 5,921 ft.
Kimberly mine was 9,299
I think the top of the mountain where the snow was is between 12,000 and 14,000 ft.
I didn't set my GPS at the top.

A friend can not find this thread so I will send it to the top.
