Sahara Recreation Area. Accessed
thirty miles west of Nephi, two-thirds of
Little Sahara Recreation Area's 60,000 acres
are set aside for off-highway vehicles.
Four-wheelers, dune buggies, dirt bikes,
and ATV's may be used on the sagebrush flats,
in the Black Mountain area, and across a
vast area of free-moving sand dunes. Little
Sahara is administered by the BLM.
Delta.
The open desert country west of Delta
is famous for meandering jeep trails leading
to fossil beds and other rockhounders'
delights.
Paiute
ATV Trail. One of very few
lengthy off-highway-vehicle routes in
the nation, the Paiute ATV Trail draws
users from across the country. The trail
itself is actually a 200-mile loop over
three mountain ranges and through rugged
canyons and deserts. It can be accessed
at many points including the junction
of I-15 and I-70 midway between the cities
of Fillmore and Beaver, and also from
Richfield on I-70. From the main trail,
administered by the Fishlake National
Forest and the BLM, there are many side
trips which offer hundreds more miles
of open road. The entire system is set
aside exclusively for all-terrain-vehicles
and cyclists. ATV rentals and tours are
available in the trail's junction towns.
