That is some pretty country! I've been through St. George a few times, mostly on the way to the north rim. You're lucky to be living down there feral!
A fine winter quad ride in utah yesterday

Sure. Its just a 8 mile drive south of hurricane. Hurricane is the jumping off town for zion national park with good motels. I think there is a addmission fee IF you go on that lake or reservore. We didnt pay.
Yes, there is lots of other rideing areas out of there too. Here is another lead to another atv ride we made only a few miles south of sandy hollow last fall. You could stay at either st. george or hurricane and make both rides. Each ride was about 35 miles and usualy about 5 hours. I wouldnt want to do them in the middle of summer though as it gets about 110 degrees on the average. St. george has lots of good resturants and motels and either ride starts less than a half hour out. Also there are other nice rides every direction. St george is 50 miles south of us. We are 6,000 ft, they are 2,800 ft and they are always about 20 degrees hotter no matter what time of the year.
The north rim of the grand canyon is only about another 80 miles south of st. george. You are familiar with beaver, st. george is 105 miles south of beaver and we are half way between. Heck, we go to beaver about once a week for lunch. Also to st. george once a week.
We ride the high country in summer and the lower country desert on nice days in winter.

As usual, great pix of interesting country, very reminiscent of the Moab area. Put me in mind of this little snippet of doggerel --- no prize, but honors to the first forum member to identify the work from which it is extracted, and the pseudonym of its author...
"The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
'If this were only cleared away,'
They said, 'it would be grand!'
'If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose,' the Walrus said,
That they could get it clear?'
'I doubt it,' said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

KJM, yeah, I really like the can am commander side by side but I just cant justify the $18,110.37! Not as long as my old 2005 bombardier traxtor keeps running anyway. Its fun to dream though.
