The 700cc twin cylinder engine delivers smooth predictable power that was easily maintained wither we were flying down gravel roads or navigating slower more technical trails as we soon encountered as we began to climb in elevation.

After several hours of driving through the hills with some picturesque over looks, we made our way into the small town of Panguitch, Utah, which is where they hold the Bryce Canyon ATV Rally each year.

Almost all the trails near Bryce Canyon are scenic like this hill climb that overlooked Casto Canyon and the town of Panguitch, Utah |
While we where in town we stopped and grabbed a bite to eat at the Cowboy Smoke House Café and filled up our tanks at the local gas station, and then we were off again.

The later half of the day we would work our way onto one of the most scenic trails in the area, which is Casto Canyon. Much like Bryce Canyon, Casto Canyon features similar glowing red tower like rocks that are called Hoodoos. Although Casto Canyon measures greatly smaller than Byrce Canyon it gives you the same feeling as if you were actually riding in Bryce Canyon, which does not allow motorized off-road vehicles of any sort.

Casto Canyon is the closest thing you can get to riding in Bryce Canyon with the many glowing red Hoodoos that line both sides of the trail |
It has been awhile since we last rode in Casto Canyon and the trails have changed tremendously. A lot of the trails were pretty washed out most likely due to the heavy rain the area has received recently from two major storms.
