1st Annual UTV Rally
June 7-9, 2007
Moab, UT
UTV Rally - Moab, Utah
Although it was early June, the
weather was more like March on the drive from Northern California to Moab.
It rained almost all the way from Reno to Salt Lake City, and the wind was
blowing 40+ mph the entire time. A few gusts nearly blew me off the road.
Once I arrived in Moab on Wednesday, the weather did not let up. It was
cold and windy. Just a few days before, it was 95 degrees. By Friday it
was back to being beautiful. Just reaffirms to me that you cannot depend on
desert weather.
Day Zero - Playing around near Archview
DuneGuide.com and Troy & Don
CartWheelin' Magazine
The DuneGuide.com Rhino at the White Wash Sand Dunes
Our group traveled over 70 miles roundtrip from the Archview
Resort to the White Wash Sand Dunes and back. On the ride with us were a few
industry folks - Aaron from
PRP Seats
and Pete from Got Sand?.
The
Moab Action Shots van was out taking pictures of us and got stuck.
A few of the guys with winches were eager to break them out and help get
them back on the road.
Day Two - Seven Mile Rim (Trail Rating 3.5
out of 5)
This 21 mile trail leads up on the rim
overlooking Archview Resort. On the ride with us were a few industry folks - Pete from
Got Sand?,
Warn Industries,
Bikeman Performance and
Seizmik.
Day Three - Gold Bar Rim (Trail Rating -
3.5+ out of 5) and Golden Spike (Trail Rating 4 out of 5)
Look for an article in the
September/October 2007 issue of Side x Side Magazine about this run written by DuneGuide.com.

The last few miles of the trip, I got to
ride with Wally from
RhinoWorld.net. Wally has his Rhino
set up for long distance trips with tires/wheels, seats, roll cage & bumper,
spare tires, a-arms and shock and GPS. I had a great time flying down from
the slick rock to the valley floor.
