We were perfectly safe and also got to see wildlife - pronghorn, deer, cows, goats, chipmunks, squirrels etc - awesome day. Panguitch is about 25 mins from Bryce Canyon - a cute little historic town right by all the best trails - you'll avoid the touristy crowds and get to enjoy the trails and scenery with a local. Dave will even take you/your group out on guided tours if you wish, especially if you aren't experienced, so don't let that hold you back. The fact that you can rent the ATV right opposite the campground (Hitch-n-Post) and ride to the trails from the campground (no trailer required) is a huge bonus. Marc is an experienced ATVer so we had no issues at all, just a blast of a time - we were out all day so really got our money's worth. We had a great experience renting from Dave who ensured the ATV was in tip top shape before we headed out. We were lucky enough for our group to be led by a couple of locals who know the 3,000 trail miles or so inside out. What a blast! There were about a dozen of us and we got to see so much amazing scenery from trails that most tourists would never get to see. JUST DO IT! PS.We rented a side by side ATV from Dave for a full day so we could join a group of ATVers from our campground on a backtrail tour of the area.

If you’re in the area, make sure you spend half a day doing this! We both took turns driving and the scenery and driving off road like that was a blast for us. Because of the mud and snow we couldn’t go all the way up but it was all amazing to see. After roaming through the canyon we headed back down and went up toward Hancock Peaks where we saw this otherworldly gray landscape. We first went to Casto Canyon and we were up close and personal to the orange hoodoos. Then we had a full 4 hours to roam through this beautiful country on our own. Then David led us to our starting point and gave us a rundown of the area we were to explore, explained how to read the map which took another 15 minutes. The paperwork, helmet fitting and review of how to operate the UTV took about 30 min. From the moment I called until check out, David and Tina were great! They explained everything thing in detail, updated me with text messages, helped choose the best rental to do.
