************Please Read***************

Participants provide their own four wheel drive vehicle, take care of
their own food and non-alcoholic beverages for the trip. Suggested
essentials, beyond plenty of water, include sun protection, and layered
clothing in case of changing weather circumstances that are always a
possibility during the spring in southeastern Utah.

There is truly something for everyone here in Moab Utah. That is why it
is referred to so often as the Mecca of 4wheeling! A few trails are nearly
accessible for 2 wheel drive vehicles, while the most difficult runs
require seriously modified vehicles..

Vehicles will be inspected prior to any guided runs leaving the arena.

Vehicle safety equipment is extremely important. It is essential that
participants stay on the designated routes (as well as everyone enjoying
the backcountry near Moab Utah), and that some basic rules are followed.
By signing the registration, be sure to read that you agree to these
conditions. They are:

RULE 1: " A vehicle must have a roll bar to participate in the Utv Rally
and have seatbelts for all occupants. The roll bar must cover all
occupants."

RULE 2: " Vehicles must have safety equipment adequate for legal operation
in Utah. We mean seat belts, and we urge everyone to use them. Having
proper brakes, lights, etc. is implied in this rule and should go without
saying."

Rule 3: " All vehicles will be escorted to and from the trails by local
Law Enforcement. Unauthorized travel not recommended."

RECOMMENDATIONS: We recommend that each vehicle carry a fire extinguisher,
first aid kit, tow strap, and spare tire.

What about Permits? All of the trips travel across federal and Utah state
lands on established roads, and even through some private land sections.
Most road/trails are left over from the mining days which provided a boom
to the area in the 1950s. STAY ON THE TRAIL/ROADS. The organization files
the required permits according to the number of participants in each
group, and pays the associated fees which are included in the cost of
registration. It is critical that participants respect the land and follow
the leaders staying to the designated route. This is absolutely essential
for anyone visiting the backcountry in and around Moab Utah throughout the
year.
