Mountain ATV/UTV Jamboree is
based out of Richfield, Utah, and is
one of our favorites. This event provides riders with the perfect way to
enjoy the Paiute and Gooseberry trail
systems of central Utah. With 70 different ride options, there is something
for everyone and all skill levels. There
is a ride that shoots skeet, a ride that
spends time fishing along the trail,
Dutch-oven lunches and even a ride
that doesn’t return until after midnight. In addition to the guided rides,
registered riders for the event get
two dinners, continental breakfasts,
a poker card, an official jamboree
T-shirt, and a chance to win one of
dozens of prizes, including a brand-new ATV. There are plenty of places
to stay and some great restaurants to
enjoy while in town.
Cost: $100 per driver or rider.
Directions: Richfield is three hours
south of Salt Lake City and four hours
north of Las Vegas. It is easiest to use
Interstate 15 through Utah, and then
just follow the signs to Richfield via
Interstate 70.

HISTORIC ATV COLOR TOUR
Buena Vista, Colorado
UTVs are again welcome at this
year’s event, which is surrounded by
the greatest concentration of 14,000-
foot peaks on the continent. So, of
course, from any trail the views are
unbeatable and the fall colors should
be amazing. Participants will visit the
area’s old mining sites and ghost
towns on self-guided tours, go to the
top of a 14,000-foot mountain, and
even cross the Continental Divide.
There will be rides for all skill levels, from the easy forest roads to the
extremely challenging—if you dare.
Night time is get-together time with
BBQs at the park, entertainment and
awards. There will be local riders out
on all the routes for assistance and
information. Or, you can be guided if
you prefer.
Cost: $90 for adults, $59 for kids
under 12

west of Colorado Springs on Hwy 24.

COAL COUNTRY OFF-ROAD
FESTIVAL
The Holler Crawler’s signature
fall event has a new name: the Coal

in southeast Kentucky are extremely

and wanted to reflect that with a
new event name. The event will still
include the famous haunted forest
ATV ride, ATV events, vendor area, a
nationally acclaimed country music
act to be announced soon, and much
more! Plus, the riding at the ATV
park on over 9000 acres is completely free! Brian Fisher will be on hand
to film and hang out with the fans.
Last year this event drew over 10,000
people.
Cost: Free
Directions: From London, Kentucky,
take I- 75 South to Corbin. From there,
head east on Rt. 25 to Pineville, then
follow the signs. If you are pulling
a big trailer (over 20 feet), check the

larger parking lots.
