We loaded up the RV, 3x ATV's and my Dodge Ram 2500 and went camping along Kimberly Road, just off the Paiute Trail.

Weather was perfect (although a storm blew in late Saturday night). We rode ~60 miles on Saturday, all the way to the top of Delano Peak (+12,000' elevation), where we saw mountain goats, mountain lion and many SxS and ATV's along the trail.

A few photos:

On the way back down from Delano Peak, the wife lost the retaining nut that holds the Left side A-Arm in place. We had to flip the ATV on its side, scavenge parts from my ATV to get it serviceable again. What an adventure!

No, we rode to the gate, then further toward Big John Flat. Many hunters climbing around the top. One guy bagged a mountain goat.
