TR: Fuller Bottom, Coal Wash, Devil's Racetrack
I was in the mood for something new this week, so I planned an ATV ride so I could find some geocaches that I'd been wanting to find for a long time. It's such a long drive to Ferron and then east into the Swell to the normal staging area for Coal Wash (60 miles from my house), so instead I decided to only drive 35 miles and park the truck at Buckhorn Well. From there, I rode my ATV south to Fuller Bottom and crossed the San Rafael River. The crossing wasn't too bad, but getting up the far bank was a bit tough--I felt like I was going to tip over backwards. I continued south following the road along the bottom of the Red Ledges and eventually dropped into Coal Wash. From that point on was all new to me, and the scenery was awesome. It gets even better once you hit the north fork of Coal Wash. I saw a lot of interesting side-canyons through there, so I'm planning on returning next year for an overnighter ATVing/hiking trip. I didn't get a chance to ride all of Devil's Racetrack because I would have run out of daylight. As it was, I didn't get back to the truck until after the sun had gone down and it was getting pretty dark. Anywho, below is a link to my GPS tracklog (Google Earth KML format) and a couple of videos and some pictures from my ride.

Nice pics, UDink. How's the weather down there these days? I'd like to escape this area (SL Valley) and get in some riding along central Utah..

Would you mind providing GPSr coordinates for a good staging area for that location? I've never ridden (or been ) there. If the weather holds, this may be worth a weekend trip w/the motorhome and ATV(s).

There is a great staging area at Justeson Flats, basically at the Moore exit on I-70.
My folks parked their motorhome form hell in there so you should have no problem.Please buy my book - "Paiute ATV Trail Guide" at www.atvutah.com - I need gas money!!!!

Fix-It Pass is a little harder in a full-size, but still plenty doable in a 4x4 with say 33" tires and some decent clearance.
