Multi Ride Report - Paiute Trails / Central Utah

What about August? Too hot then?

Yes, you can camp nearly anywhere along the trail.
Like the original post said, there are literally thousands of miles that can be ridden, and camping is allowed as long as you stay on an improved trail. They really don't like people going off the trail, even to make a camping spot. And there are officers patrolling on atvs, (it's awesome getting paid to ride the trail all day)

Thanks PTP, What kind of officers?

 

[PaiuteTrailPioneer]

Both local deputies, and forest service certified officers.

Ah, no beer on the trails.

It's not too hot in August, as long as you stay in the mountains. It's pretty warm when you drop into the valleys. it's usually rainy too, but planning it a year in advance means you are shooting in the dark as far as what the weather will be.

I am certain we want to miss the crowds of the jamboree. May look at first week of October 2018. Should be some snow to play in then drop into the valley for 60+ degrees weather. Weather changes on us daily by the hour, early AM in Marysville would be close to 20 but by 10 AM was in mid 50s as sun came over the summit. That was during last week of October.

There are houses and cabins to be had not just camping sites so no big deal in you haven't an RV.

@PaiuteTrailPioneer thanks for the insight and offer of help. I went 4 years ago and can't wait to go back. When we do this I will be there 2 weeks early to really scope out the best bang for the buck in riding time and routes. Would be great to meet up and see what you have been too that I don't know about which is likely a lot. I still have my GPS tracks from then and 30 hours of video to correspond with each days ride.

I can't wait!

2018 is so far away.
I'm planning on going on a ride tomorrow!
I know, I know, I'm lucky to live here.
It's perfect weather this time of year.
I guess that's why they have the jamboree now too.

I'm in Smokey mountains with a TN trails system surrounding me with over 1000 miles to ride. But there is a heck of a difference from 3200 ft to 11000 ft elevation scenery. I still have it very good

 

[PaiuteTrailPioneer]

Smoky mountains?
Whenever I hear about the smoky mountains, it makes me think of some location that should be in the Lord of the Rings.
Like,
Go south of the misty mountains, through Fangorn Forest, past Rivendell, until you get to the smoky mountains.
Maybe I'm just a huge nerd though..

Good morning Jackal. Thanks for the nice pictures and write up about your ride.

I just now discovered this post and wondering if this idea is still floating. 2018 is now closer than ever.

Cheers - Stauvo

Sorry for the long delay, I will actually be in Utah the next 2 days and will be stopping by the 2 main places in Maryvale, UT that are dead center of the main 300 mile trail loop.

Plan on negotiating club discount and block off a group a cabins for a period of time for early reservations. Preliminary dates will be Sept. 21-24 but cannot confirm until speaking with campground owners.

Most of these trails are by far easier than Royal Blue but still have the hazards of rocks. The views are beyond compare. Just to get out of town at 6400 ft, and reach the main trail overlooking town at 10,800 ft takes 2 hrs of steady climbing.

We will find out real quick who doesn't keep thier radiator cleaned out.

I had a clean radiator and still had overheating issues in CO at 10k ft and above on long steep climbs. If red light comes on don’t push it lol. Give it a 5-10 break with fan running. Get after it again.

Hi....I live just north of Logan Utah, and I am very interested in riding the Paiute Trails.....thinking about doing it no later than early Sept....do you recommend either camping or a motel in Richfield, then riding the Honda to the trails? What maps do you recommend? thanks.......
