ATVUtah Forum - Riding in and around Panguitch, Tropic, Escalante

BruteForce Super Sponsor Offline Posts: 8646 Garfield County, Utah Gender:	Riding in and around Panguitch, Tropic, Escalante 05/19/23 at 05:07:22 This route wasn't passable a bit over a week ago, but I'm going to make another attempt at it on the 2023 Polaris Sportsman 1000.. And if not passable, going to make a run north to see if I can hit the 50" trail at the very southern edge of the Paiute.

The creek that parallels SR20 stopped me cold. Pang to Pang Lake was a bust. I got to within 5 miles before hitting a huge north facing snow drift!

Hatch to Tropic is now possible. There are some minor drifts on the trails, but tracks have always been pushed through them..

Flipper Super Sponsor Offline I love to ride!

And of course all my planned rides had me crossing them.😝 I'll be there in a week and a half. Hoping we can cross them before we leave for Marysvale on June 22nd. I'm not betting the the farm on it though.

I have never seen the San Rafael or Green Rivers so massive, wide and hard flowing. The Green River has exceeded its normal depth and width as seen from within Green River town.

Made two attempts via different routes to reach Panguitch Lake. I got stopped both times by ~100 foot long snow drifts. Along the way, I encountered every obstacle imaginable; boulders, washed out trail, trees down and even dead animals..

Casto has been washed out pretty good, but it always does that when water flows. All trails passable. Great way to start the morning!!

BruteForce Super Sponsor Offline Posts: 8646 Garfield County, Utah Gender:	Re: Panguitch to Cedar or Parowan Reply #12 - 05/29/23 at 05:35:28 So, as of yesterday, the entire Fremont02 trail is open. The few snow drifts and downed trees that did exist were cleared by RUT and I. West of HWY89 along Dog Valley, all the streams are running fast and strong and in the center, what is normally a dry lake is a full lake of water.

When you say the Fremont 02, is that the main trail that goes from Tropic reservoir up to Circleville?

Sort of. It goes Circleville all the way to Bryce Canyon and you can access the trail to Hatch and Panguitch Lake via Tropic Res.
