In the mountains

Hi, I was thinking of geting a side by side but dont know it would do on some of the narrow steep mountain trails that i would want it for. Have you guys used them much in that kind of cuntry?

well when i was in new mexico there was alot of small trails and the legal limit there is 50 inches wide so i would go with the rzr thats what i have and love it its very fun on those trails and fast but what i like most about it is the drifiting part and i havent rolled it yet well i did but thats cuz i was driving up a tree lol but deff the rzr on my side

Here in Utah it is getting to matter whether it is a side x side or an atv. It is no longer designated as a width issue.

thats kool but when i was in new mexico there was two poles that were 50 inches apart from each other an some of those places had cops by them so i have no idea tho in other states

most trails are marked with posts or large rocks placed at 50- 54" apart. They have started marking many of the trails with a "no side x side" decal due to the lenth of them. Until the trail is marked to stop me I will continue to go on them.
I would like to see some handicap person fight for their ADA rights to access trails, it would highly effect the Sierra and other tree hugger groups. :?:

Thank you, those are some great pics. So would you guys say that you could go eny where a 4x4 4 wheeler could go with the exception of the width?

And do you know if the rzr has a back seat opt.?

Fasttrax · 2008-02-25 22:18:43

We all have our advantages and disadvantages. I feel more comfortable in a side x, I can move more snow plowing than the largest atv 4x, and with the rear seat of a rhino you can tote 4 or 5 people too. I would consider having a atv for those atv only trails, one reason I will not part for a while with my two Honda sportstrax's. Only thing that would add to the side x would be being steet legal everywhere.

There is no back seat option for the RZR.

We actually saw a RZR with back seats in Sand Hollow I would not do it :?

Badley, Great pictures up American Fork Canyon. I live near the mouth of the canyon in highland and ride up there a lot. I haven't taken the Crew up there yet, just the 4 wheelers. I'm looking forward to this spring/summer to ride up there.

Where are the pictures on the first link. Are they above the mines on the way to snowbird?

Cosmo - the first 8 photos are above Silver Lake. The next 4 are trail to Mineral Basin (the last 1 in that group is on the opposite ridge above Silver Lake) as well as the last group of photos. Mineral Basin is above the mines where the trail ends at Snowbird (last photo). We love riding in the canyon!

Lifted a couple photos off local classifieds - I am sure the red one the one I spotted at Sand Hollow (UT) $2,200 :shock:
