Group 1: Top of the Arch – Geological Ride
This ride requires you to trailer your ATV 12 miles from Castle Valley Ranch to Interstate 70 where the ride begins ( all asphalt). From there we will ride to the top of the Hondo Arch, which you can see at a short distance away. Scenery is fantastic at this point! We will then ride through Cedar Mountain where the Dikes, or Fishers, begin to appear and are unusual, rare, and neat to look at. Down we go into Carlyle Wash where you will see many Geological changes in formations, minerals, and color. On to the Mussentuchit Sand Dune. Yes! The formations keep changing and we are getting close to the end. This ride is 62 miles and is easy riding, all size machines can go.
