Alaska to Utah
I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Just moved down here from Homer AK and having trouble adjusting to civilized life and authorized trails I like to make my own.

I love that this picture has fireweed in the background. I'm actually about to make the reverse trip (Utah to Alaska). I'm going up to Anchorage next week until October. I don't know what kind of time you have off the base if you are at Hill, but Utah is so awesome! I hope you are able to enjoy some of the awesome activities around here, and I hope you enjoy this site!

I encourage you to look into Tread Lightly practices (www.treadlightly.org). Be careful about trail blazing or acting like a fool on your atv. That kind of activity can get your arse kicked out on our public lands.
So be a responsible wheeler, enjoy what Utah offers, and welcome!

I actually don't want to be here, nothing against utah but I was born and bread for Alaska and I'm having serious withdrawls. I can't wait to see what utah has to offer and don't mind staying on trails as long as there challenging and get a little muddy from time to time.

Thanks for the feedback, and don't worry I have no plans of going off the trail, I know how that can affect 4 wheeling. So whats the nearest southern riding area, I'm in the military so I'm poor and gas is expensive.

There are some good places up north as well, but mostly in the summer. Right now, a good place to go exploring via ATV is 5 Mile Pass. It is easy to find. Travel south on I-15. From Hill AFB it'll be about a 60+ minute drive. Take Highway 73 and head west. Follow Highway 73 out through Lehi for about 15 miles. You'll come to an OHV unloading area with a sign labeled "5 Mile Pass Special Recreation Area." Literally, you CAN'T miss it. It's open travel in most of the area, so you can do a lot of riding and exploring out there. Not exactly scenic, but fun and full of old mines and history.
Once the snow melts (end of May early June) you can go to American Fork Canyon or the Uintas above Kamas.

Just last week I shot a feature on a guy from Homer, Alaska who was planning to fly his family around the world in a Cessna 206. He and I had lots of pilot talk. He seemed like a really nice guy. Nice Austrian wife, too, and cute kids. Here is the article...
