Diamond Mountain Plateau in Brown's Park Between Dinosaur National Monument and the Green River, a rider can explore the rugged scenic terrain where Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch wandered. Seventy miles south of Ouray are the wild Book Cliffs.
The Great Basin Offers solitude and vast open stretches for off-highway exploration and some demanding mountain terrain as well. In the northwestern part of the state, the old Railroad Bed Road, a remnant of the first transcontinental railroad, which was completed in 1869, continues west from Promontory to S.R. 30.
Little Sahara Recreation Area Accessed 30 miles west of Nephi, two-thirds of Little Sahara Recreation Area's 60,000 acres are set aside for off-highway vehicles. Four-wheelers, dune buggies, dirt bikes and ATVs may be used on the sagebrush flats, Black Mountain area and the vast area of free-moving sand dunes.
