Decent trails/camping in SW Utah???

[Jate]

Does anyone know of some good camping and wheeling areas in SW Utah? I am looking for a place that is relatively easy to get to from both SLC and Las Vegas. I want to meet my brother there who lives in Vegas. We plan to bring both 4 wheel drives and ATVs.

Thanks!!!

Thanks that is a good suggestion. I pulled some info off of google. Are there campsites there? I didn't seem to find any. Any other suggestions???

If you set up a base above Cedar City I would think you will find plenty of camping.

I am not real familiar with all the trails, but the Mountains above Beaver are great as well.

Try Sand Hollow State Park Its located near Hurricane, UT, about 4 1/2 hours from SLC and about 2 hrs from Vegas.

Lots of dunes for ATV riding with tons of trails everywhere. There are also a lot of 4x4 trails too, lots of sand stone to crawl, and a lake to swim in.

Do a search across the whole forum for "hurricane" or "sand hollow" you'll get bunch of pics.

Here are some I took last weekend.

This trail was discussed in chit chat a bit ago, looks fun but pretty hardcore...

I'd head to the San Rafael Swell!

For epic hiking, mild wheelin' and miles of ATV riding, I'd go to the Swell. If you get out far enough, I doubt you'll see anybody else.

The swell is sweet for scenic, but nothing difficult.

Outside of cedar is Skull Canyon. That was one of the hardest/most fun trails I've ever done. We did it in the snow and it was wicked.

I want to do that St. George trail! Who's in and when!
