RIDE DESCRIPTIONS
Most of the following rides take place on the Paiute and Great Western trail systems. The staging area within Richfield is shown in parentheses next to the ride name. The description also denotes whether riders will need to trailer to the trail head or leave from Richfield.
Riders will be invited to the Richfield City Park at 7:00 am Tuesday through Friday for a continental breakfast. At 7:30 am, final call announcements will be made requesting that riders begin to make their way to the staging areas at the park or around Richfield where the guides will check in the riders, give some final instructions and begin the ride (or trailering to the trailhead) at 8:30 am.
Please note that rides with 5 or fewer registered riders may be canceled or combined with other rides after September 1, 2010. The Jamboree will make every effort to contact you prior to your arrival to let you know which rides have been combined with other rides or canceled.
Many Jamboree rides require that you be willing and able to transport your own ATV to remote locations. This allows you to see more of southern Utah’s ATV trails and keeps ride groups at a manageable size. Please note that the Jamboree cannot be responsible for daily transportation to these more remote portions of the Paiute & Great Western Trail systems.
All trails/roads used by the Jamboree are understood to be two-way. Even on narrow trails, you may meet someone coming on an ATV from the opposite direction. Watch carefully for oncoming traffic on all roads and trails. Remember the Three K's - Kind, Kourteous & Kareful.
The Jamboree rides will provide direct contact with the elements and place physical demands on both riders and machines. Those with medical conditions or certain other physical limitations should carefully consider those demands. Each rider must be responsible for his/her own health and well-being along the trail. We will never be more than a few hours from the nearest town, but medical assistance is not always available in smaller towns. If you have particular medical or physical limitations, but decide to go anyway, please make your guide aware of your condition.
We emphasize that the ATV trails are not intended for high speed riding but rather for conservative, safe ATV riding. It is necessary that all participants stay with the group, remaining behind the front guide at all times, for the safety and peace of mind of the entire group. ATV’s must be in good mechanical conditions, tuned up and properly jetted for high altitude endurance rides.
Also, please note that unless otherwise stated in the ride description, you will need to provide your own lunch while on the ride.
If the ride description does not indicate that machines that are more than 50 inches wide are permitted, those machines will not be allowed on that ride.

During this 3 day 3 night adventure (Sponsored by Ridge Runner ATV) we will ride approximately 300 or more miles on the Paiute ATV Trail and portions of the Great Western Trail, camping alongside the trail. This has been one of the most popular events for several years, with the route changing each year to provide new trails and new scenery for those who may have been along before. This ride will challenge your endurance and provide the ultimate ATV adventure for those who feel they can accept the challenge. The trails will be rocky, steep, and narrow.

This event is specifically designed for those who would like a ‘primitive adventure’ in the high country.

We will have access to towns along the way to replenish our food and supplies and fill up with gas and drinking water. All meals will be on your own so pack light weight food.
