August Utah Rides
I suggest taking the 15 North to the 20 East to Highway 89. Turn right and continue through town to the Dixie Forest RV Resort. The address is 555 S Main St, Panguitch, UT 84759.
Below are some images of sites to see around Panguitch and Duck Creek. These are all waypoints in the GPX file below.
Thinking about getting together for dinner on Tuesday night in Panguitch. We can ride our SxS's into town as long as we stay off highway 89. This place looked good:

As you know, we have a guide booked for Monday & Tuesday. The cost is $25 / SxS or $50 for both days. I have provided below Charlie's Venmo link, and he would prefer you submit payment that way if possible. This fee is fully refundable if you cancel or he needs to cancel.

I have provided Charlie a list of first names so he can confirm payment. Let me know if you prefer to pay him in Utah and I will pass that on to him.
Final Utah Tracks - August 2025
Below is the updated GPX file for our upcoming Utah trip to Panguitch. If you downloaded the previous version I suggest that you delete it and load this version since I made many changes.

The purple track may be in jeopardy because of the France Canyon fire. I also added the cyan track if anyone wants to ride to Circleville for lunch on Sunday. I will create some additional tracks in case the blue and red tracks are part of our guides rides.
Most of the rides are around 110 miles with gas available at Panguitch Lake & Duck Creek and in Panguitch city. Not sure if they have 91 octane so bring some octane booster if you are concerned about running 89 in your SxS. I believe the routes will all support full size SxS's but we may encounter some sections that require us to navigate via a different trail.
France Canyon File Closure Information. This closure is currently scheduled to end on July 31st so we may luck out!
