Off Roading Weekend outing in Western utah

[EricBu12]

Going out to the Knolls Recreation area at exit 44 on I-80.



Leaving thursday sometime and be out there by the afternoon to early evening and staying till sunday afternoon.



This place is great for motorcycles and ATV's and some 4X4 trail drives. There are hill climbs and sand dunes, and small flat "Dry-Lakes" to open it up for a short bit.



I have a 28'Desert Fox with a 2003 Polaris 500 so I will be roughing it easy!



To get to it, go I-80 west to exit 44, turn left over freeway (south) follow old frontage road around heading west for 1 mile or so til you come to a sign saying "knolls recreation area" tuen left. . I will be about 2 miles in on the gravel road. There is dunes on the right and we usually park on a low point on the left. There is a big open park area that is flat a little further on the right.



Here is my truck and trailer..... pic is out in Moab near slickrock

I'm jealous that you live close to my playground.

 

[CLAYTON]

I love that place. . I go out there all the time.

 

[Ol'TrailDog]

That Moab area is quite the playground. Quite a range of activities - mtn. biking, hiking, climbing, canyoneering, ATVing, motocross, Jeeping, or just plain looking. Oo.

 

[Boomer II]

First time I went to Moab was in 77, finally went back in 87 and have gone back at least once a year every year since. I can't get enough of that red rock.

I've got a sportsman 500 HO too, your other toy would be a little much for my wooded acerage, looks like a lot of fun though.

Heres my 73 yr old Dad trying it out. He still gets out and has fun. He rides the Big quad sometimes. My Camera has a fast shutter. He is movin a bit in this pic. Absolutely stopped the wheels.



The trails you see in the background are at a place called 5-Mile pass rec. Area.
