Utah’s
Sand Hollow State Park ATV & SxS Riding Area
Review
::Continued::
Some of Sand Hollow’s trails run along
the many cliffs that give you an awesome view
of the valley and desert floor below. The valley
at Sand Hollow offers a different terrain
and riding style that is a nice change to the
sandy dunes above. In the valley, there are many
deep sand washes, steep berms, and long high speed
desert sections that keep the ride exciting.

|
| The
Sand Hollow's lower elevation area in the
valley offers yet another terrain that features
sand washes, berms and high speed desert
sections |
We had a chance to explore the top riding area
and valley floor for two days and we still didn’t
get to see everything! We did however, get to explore
some of Sand Hollow’s historic sites including
Fort Pearce and preserved Dinosaur tracks that
were both close enough to ride our Side-by-Sides
to.

| If
you follow the main dirt road in the lower
area of Sand Hollow it will lead you to
two historic areas Fort Pearce and uncovered
dinosaur tracks |
From the sand washes in the Sand Hollow Valley
there is a desert trail that winds in-and-out
of the desert vegetation for approximately 5 miles
until it turns into a dirt road. If you follow
the dirt road for 8 miles, you will see a sign
for Fort Pearce. From our understanding Fort Pearce
was built to defend the scarce water supply that
flows near the fort. You can also find petro glyphs
that were drawn by Native Americans hundred of
years ago on some of the rocks along the river.

If you hop back on the dirt road and go down
another half mile you will find the Dinosaur tracks.
There is a fenced off area to park your vehicles
and it is just a short walk back to the tracks.
The Dinosaur tracks date back millions of years
and where preserved in what was mud.

If golf is your game, Sand Hollow also offers
a championship golf course and resort that runs
adjacent to the Sand Hollow OHV area. The 7,300-yard,
18-hole golf course was designed around the natural
landscape. We were quite surprised when we saw
the lush green golf course as we rode to say the
least!
