Sometimes, you just need to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. To trade in the constant notifications and to-do lists for the raw thrill of the open road (or, in this case, the open trail). And what better way to do that than with an offroad adventure?

The Call of the Wild

There’s something undeniably liberating about being out in the wild, with nothing but the sound of your engine and the wind in your hair. You’re in control, navigating your own path through challenging terrain. It’s a test of your skills and a chance to connect with nature in a way that you just can’t do from behind the wheel of a car.

Benefits of Going Offroad

But the benefits of offroad riding go beyond the immediate thrill. It’s also a great way to:

• Challenge yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, there’s always something new to learn and conquer on the trails.
• Bond with friends. Offroad riding is a great way to spend time with like-minded people and create lasting memories.
• Explore new places. There are endless miles of trails to be discovered, each offering its own unique challenges and scenery.

So what are you waiting for?

If you’re looking for an adventure that will get your heart racing and leave you feeling exhilarated, then offroad riding is for you. Just remember to do your research, choose a trail that’s appropriate for your skill level, and always ride responsibly.

And who knows, you might just discover a new passion that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Tips for Planning Your Offroad Adventure

• Choose the right vehicle. Not all vehicles are created equal when it comes to offroading. Do your research and choose a vehicle that’s up to the challenge.
• Get the proper gear. You’ll need a helmet, goggles, gloves, and sturdy boots. Depending on the terrain, you may also want to consider investing in armor and skid plates.
• Know your limits. Don’t try to be a hero. Start with easy trails and work your way up as you gain experience.
• Respect the environment. Leave no trace and be mindful of other riders and wildlife.
• Have fun! Offroad riding is meant to be enjoyed. So relax, let loose, and enjoy the ride.

With a little planning and preparation, you can have an offroad adventure that you’ll never forget. So get out there and start exploring!

Whiskey Wash is located in the one of the most remote, least visited areas of Utah. If you are looking for a unique, out of the way rides, this is a ride for you. The scenery is incredible and you will have it to yourself almost certainly. This is an easy ride, the trail is smooth almost the entire route. It is an easy ride from Ferron, or you can trailer out and park and unload at the trail head. This is a great place to explore with lots of interesting rock formations and fossils.

The majority of this trail is fast gravel road and pavement making the trip to the dunes relatively quick and easy.
Once you get to the dunes you will likely find your own way. The dunes shift constantly so just take your time and work your way through the dunes taking a path your machine is capable of tackling.

When you get to the Power Plant the trail goes between some of their facilities and it may feel like you are on their property but you are not. The road just goes between and then past their facilities.

There is a gate near the point where you cross the railroad crossing. You are good to go through it, just make sure it is closed after passing through. The north side of the gate is cattle range and if the gate is left open the cattle will get hit by the trail.

When you get to the South West corner of the Dunes the trail turns to almost solid sand and the trail may appear impassable. Just work your way around steep or soft sections and generally work your way through.

The track will take you to Sand Mountain and past it to the exit on the East side of the dunes at Hwy 6.

This is a fast desert trail. It takes about 4 hours to cover. It is 83 miles. It is kind of fun to be able to zip down a desert trail at 30 miles per hour.

Across the bottom of the loop there are a couple of landmarks that are worth a stop. The first is the Great Stone Face. It is just as it sounds, a lone volcanic tower shaped like an angular face. As you work further east and south you will skirt the Clear Lake Waterfowl Management Area. In normal years this has a series of small shallow lakes flanked by wetlands that attract a wide variety of migratory birds (nothing like seeing a sandhill crane take off in flight alongside you as you are rolling down the dirt road.

The back half of the loop is why the Trail is named: the Pahvant Butte. It is the remains of a 16,000 year old volcano that erupted when it was underwater beneath Lake Bonneville. Over the period of only a few weeks, it is believed to form the cone of the volcano that erupted all those millenia ago. The lower part of the cone has fallen in as the shoreline of the ancient lake Bonneville eroded the rock.

Be sure to also stop at the lace curtain. A dripping molten wall of solid rock creating the look of tattered lace curtains. From there it is northbound back to Delta City. What really makes this trail worthy of a day is the solitude. Notice that on the day we mapped this route we did not see one solitary person, other than in our group..

The Loop requires Street Legal machine to make the trip. For this adventure head north and west out of Delta and follow the signs to the Topaz Internment Camp. These roads are paved most of the way to the camp. It is worth the time to stop there and ponder the fact that we made prisoners out of American citizens during the war. From there head north on dirt roads towards Baker Hot Springs. When you cross pavement, turn right and then again to the left when you see a stop sign. When you see the vault toilet, you are at Baker. Baker hot springs is open year round and it is one of the few places where you will find people congregating in the west desert (outside of a city). Sometimes it is busy, sometimes you are all alone. There is a vault toilet at the springs. Heading north from the springs towards the volcano cone, the roads change from maintained and wide enough for two vehicles to narrow dual track paths that make their way around the volcano. If you want to get the best picture of the cone, you will have to plan on a short hike, but you can drive pretty close.

Today, we road about 45 miles in 5 hours with an average speed of 10 mph (there is almost 4,000 feet of climbing when you first head out on the trail). Once on top, there are views in every direction. This trail will take you past Huntington and Miller Flat Reservoirs offering some fun stops along the way. We’d suggest you plan the whole day for your ride with a little extra time to find a good malt and a burger in Mt. Pleasant.

The trail is close to Mt. Pleasant where you will find the necessary amenities for a stocking up for a day on the trail as well as places to stay at the end of your day.
