We stopped going to the taylor park area in 2014 their was just to much traffic on the trials. The scenery is great and the history stuff is good anyway. we been riding sxs from 2004 the old yamaha rhinos first then cam ams ever since.. Utah and Wyoming . The Paiute 900 miles of trails and Arapeen 600miles of trails in Utah. In Wyoming Albany Lodge area 500 plus miles just some places to ride if you haven't been there..

@@momentsofadventure we live in Harrah and have access to the North Canadian at the highway 62 Bridge. It's a very small area, but it's about 5 minutes from our house. During this past summer we went to Madden Crew Off Road Park on the South Canadian in Wanette, OK. They do have camp sites and I've seen toy haulers as large as yours pulling in. During the summer you can ride east, on the river as far as Lake Eufaula. I know there is a group that does this leaving from Soggy Bottom (east neighbor of Madden Crew). It's usually a 2 day ride to make it to Eufaula with overnight camping along the way. We haven't done it, but I've heard all about it. Other than that it's mostly riding the river bed, with river crossing at nearly ever river bend. The river is typically super low in the summer and crossing is not an issue. The family that runs Madden Crew does a couple big events every year with mud bogs and things like that. Have you checked out Cross Bar Ranch in Davis, OK. That's super popular too.

Hi @ericafehrenbach660! We did not stay ant the campground during this trip, although we have stayed there before. We like to dry camp out in the forest. Yes, it is easy to access these trails from the campground. There is only one little section of road that you can not drive on, and there is an ATV trail next to the road that you can take. Super easy to get everywhere you need to go. Thanks for watching!

We also have a 44 ft fifth wheel as well. We have not had any issues, especially now that they have paved it. I don't think you will have issues, but there is a way around through Gunnison , if you would rather not go through cottonwood pass. Just take your time, and go slow. There are several pull overs so you can let those speedier people around you.

Where would you say is the best place to live out west for the most off road trails?

@momentsofadventure

6 ай бұрын

Great question!!! We have not explored all that the "west" has to offer! It also depends on the types of trails and scenery that you like to experience while riding. Colorado has some great trail systems. Most Colorado trails are in mountain and tree areas... great views, and wildlife around. Utah has a good variety too, I would say, mostly rock formations and dessert riding. I have not ridden in Idaho yet, but the areas I've seen look really pretty- again mountain-forest area. The areas we have ridden through Oklahoma and Kansas, are smaller areas, but fun riding. Oklahoma and Kansas would be weekend fun. There are locations in Colorado, and Utah that could fit into weekend fun locations, but there are also areas where you could stay a week or more and still have riding to do (Taylor Park, in Colorado, or Moab in Utah). Although, I understand Moab has recently shut down several hundred miles of trails. I'm not sure where the future of Moab riding stands. We do hope to do more westward riding in the future. Be sure to keep watching the channel, and be sure to let us know if there are areas we should check out!

Your trip looked like a blast! What time of the year did you ride in Taylor park? Our group is planning a late August trip and im curious of what temperatures to expect up in the high elevations

@momentsofadventure

We usually go to Taylor Park in July. Late August should be nice temps. Probably 60s and 70s. At night when the sun goes down, the temps drop. You will for sure need a jacket, and possibly a campfire if they are allowed. Some years Colorado is very dry, and they have burn bans, with no fires allowed. This year, however I have not heard of any burn bans. Have a great time!

What map system do you use to navigate while riding?

We use Gaia GPS on the iPhone. It is a paid app, but you can download offline maps and do pretty much anything a stand alone GPS will do. I also use COTrex if we are in Colorado, it is a free application, and then sometimes Avenza, which also is free to use.

I have a question? Are there any clean trails or is this a mud sport? I have ocd and just want to ride well groomed trails.

@momentsofadventure

11 ай бұрын

I'm going to say, you should prepare to get dirty when you are riding trails. Its not super fun, or super safe to ride on pavement. I will say, when the weather is super dry, the trails get dusty, and that dust is just everywhere. Same on the opposite side, if it has just rained,... its muddy, and then mud gets everywhere. Less dusty trails, would be more rock climbing trails. But again, you are outside... there is dirt. Another less dirty option would be a fully enclosed Jeep. Something with doors, windows and a roof. Hope you get to get out and enjoy the views in a way that fits you!
