ok, I'm back from the "trail". Still getting over the WOW factor here. i will be giving a full report as the week goes on here. just trying to catch up with things right now.

GOOD Glad to hear. Will be looking forward to a full report. I find myself on a ride making mental notes of things I want to be sure and report after the ride.

First off let me say this, the 10 to 12 hour days for 5 days of trail riding was OUTSTANDING! I'm sore, tried, dusty and just flat wore out, but what a heavenly ride. ok, here the low down on what we rode and did.

Monday-1ST Day
Took 77 (to miners park) fm marysvale to 35, then 35 to 02 back to marysvale. Really nice trail to start out on. Breaks you in easy if you havn't ridin in the moutains before, wide road/trail. We actully did 77 twice, just came from the other direction. Just a little dusty tho....

Tuesday-2ND Day
Marysvale to 02 east to 01 north to 89 then to 87 to the Upper Box Creek Reservor. From there we took service road 068 to 01 heading west back to 02. Well by then its close to supper time so we head to Big Rock Candy Mtn via 02 to 24 then over to 22, then over to 74 to 21 to dinner. Then we head to the cabin down 21 to Hoovers then over to 74. 74 to 01 to 02 to Marysavale. That was a long ride that day. The trail riding by the lakes was really nice, great views. Crossing to and from marysvale (east) on 02 is a little bit dusty to say the least. Pretty easy trail riding most of the way. The switch backs at the mountain were not to bad either. now trail 74 had some long steep grades, which were kind of neat to ride. we rode this trail twice in each direction. saw a beaver dam on this trail.

Wednesday-3RD day
This was one of our longer rides. We started out of Marysvale on 77(south)to 35 into Junction to top off the gas tanks. Then back out on 35 to 33. Then 33 to 31, which hits highway 153. so we rode along the highway till it turned into a gravel road. This took us to the main trail 01. We took 01 north to the Tushar Range all the way to 02 back to Marysvale. On this ride we saw mountain goats at the top of the Tushar pass. you could also see Marysvale from there too, according to the GPS it was 12 miles as a crow flys. some really steap switch backs at the second highway crossing, one way on those babys there. The views on this ride were great all along the trail.

Thursday- 4TH day
Wednesday night we stop at Liz and Charlie RV Park and met a guy named Mike there, got to taking to him about the trails and stuff. long story short, he offered to trailer us down to Circleville Thursday morning at no cost. Now we couldn't pass this up (we did take care of him). so we're at the RV park in the morning/load/gone to Circleville. Got on 01 east then north to a stageing area next to hwy 62. Continue on 01 to 25 to 02. Then to 37 to Marysvale.
we had some battery prolbems on these ride, but thats aother story. the frist part of this trail is real rocky, dry creek bottom riding type stuff. I liked riding this area. later that evening we went to Bullion Falls. easy ride here, just watch out for the last 400 feet that you have to WALK! But it was worth it.

Friday-Last day of riding
We took 77 south out of Marysvale to hwy 89, crossed there and contiued on 77 up the mountain, down to 02. 02 to 01, 01 to 74 on to Hoovers(21) to Candy Mountain Rest. after dinner came back on 21/74 to 22, 22 to 02 back to the cabin

now map wise we put about 290 miles in 5 days. acording to the ATVs we put 320 plus or minus. now i know this my not be alot of riding for some of you'll. But for this group of FLATLANDERS, that was a ride!

I shall go back!

Sounds like you had a blast chico

Cant wait till I can head over there for a week of riding

Thanks for the report chico.

Glad the trip was fun and worth the effort you put into traveling there. The Paiute Trails have something for everyone and are just awesome.

i was very pleased with the out come of this trip. our ATVs and gear all held up, the crew i rode with were great(there was 4 of us). the people in Marysvale were very friendly and helpful. we met severl nice people on the trail from diffrent places. the only down side to this trip was the 26 hour trip to and from, but i'd do it again.

also i've got some pic, if i can figure out how to get them on here, i'll post.
