The Bureau of Land Management is once again reviewing off-highway vehicle route designations across portions of Central Utah, reopening debate over access in two of the state’s most iconic backcountry regions: the San Rafael Swell and the San Rafael Desert. The agency announced this week that it is seeking public comment on whether certain routes currently marked as closed or limited should be reopened to motorized use. The move could impact hundreds of miles of trails across the red rock landscapes surrounding Green River, Emery County, and the greater San Rafael Recreation Area. For UTV and OHV enthusiasts, the reassessment represents one of the most significant public land access discussions in Utah in recent years. OHV Exploring in the San Rafael Swell What the BLM Is Considering According to the BLM, officials are reevaluating approximately 226 miles of routes within the San Rafael Swell Travel Management Area that were previously designated as closed or limited to OHV use. Another 20 miles of routes in the San Rafael Desert are also under reconsideration. The agency emphasized that all current route designations remain in effect during the reassessment process. No trails have been reopened yet, but the new review could eventually lead to amendments to existing travel management plans. The San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan, finalized in late 2024, designated approximately: 1,355 miles of routes open to OHV travel 141 miles limited to certain vehicle types or uses 665 miles closed to OHVs Meanwhile, the San Rafael Desert plan currently includes roughly: 600 miles open to OHV use 47 miles limited 534 miles closed The reassessment follows continued pressure from counties, OHV advocacy groups, and lawsuits challenging portions of the original travel management decisions. Why the San Rafael Swell Matters The San Rafael Swell is one of Utah’s premier off-road destinations, stretching across more than a million acres of rugged canyon country between Green River and Hanksville. Known for towering sandstone cliffs, winding washes, mining roads, and remote desert scenery, the area has long been a favorite for UTV exploration, overlanding, rock crawling, camping, and adventure travel. Popular routes throughout the region provide access to areas like Eagle Canyon, Devils Racetrack, Fix-It Pass, Behind the Reef Road, and countless remote overlooks and historic mining sites. The area also contains sensitive cultural resources, wildlife habitat, wilderness study areas, and fragile desert ecosystems, making route management especially controversial. Interstate 70 cuts directly through the Swell, offering easy access to one of the most visually dramatic landscapes in the West. YAMAHA RMAX 4 1000 REVIEW OHV Advocates Push for Reopening Routes Organizations supporting motorized recreation say many of the closures removed long-used access routes that connected trail systems, campsites, and recreational destinations. Groups including the BlueRibbon Coalition and the Utah Public Lands Alliance argue that some closures affected roads that had been responsibly used for decades. Advocacy groups are encouraging riders to submit detailed comments identifying specific route numbers, historic use, recreational value, and access concerns. They argue that public participation could heavily influence whether routes are eventually reopened. Public Comment Period Open Through June 8 The BLM is accepting public comments through June 8, 2026. Riders, landowners, recreation groups, conservation organizations, and local communities can submit comments through the agency’s online ePlanning portals or by mail. Officials specifically requested route-specific comments whenever possible, including trail numbers and details regarding access needs, recreation opportunities, or resource concerns. For Utah’s off-road community, the outcome could shape future access throughout one of the most important OHV regions in the Southwest. Whether you ride a UTV, dirt bike, ATV, or full-size 4×4, the reassessment could determine which routes remain accessible for years to come.

St. George, UT — SSV Works, The Original UTV Audio Brand, proudly announces the release of its all-new Plug-&-Play 10” Subwoofer Add-On Kits for the 2026 Can-Am Defender HD11, now available in both single (DF11-1VTD) and dual (DF11-2VTD) configurations. Designed specifically for the HD11 platform, these kits deliver the deep, hard-hitting bass that factory audio systems are missing, without sacrificing factory fit or functionality. Built for seamless integration, each kit features a vehicle-specific, ported enclosure engineered to mount cleanly under the passenger-side front or rear seat. This design not only preserves valuable cabin space, but also maintains a true factory-style fit and finish, making it ideal for both end users and dealers looking to upgrade showroom units. Can-Am Defender HD11 Subwoofer Kits Many subwoofer options on the market for the HD11 require cutting into the vehicle’s floor to install. SSV Works eliminates that entirely with a 100% plug-&-play solution, utilizing factory mounting locations and integrated wiring for a straightforward installation. The result is a clean, secure fit with no guesswork and no compromise. At the heart of each system is SSV Works’ 10” subwoofer, paired with a precisely tuned ported enclosure to maximize low-frequency output and efficiency. This combination delivers more air movement, more impact, and a fuller low end, even in demanding off-road environments. Whether customers choose the single or dual sub configuration, they can expect a dramatic improvement in bass response that can be felt as much as heard. Can-Am Defender HD11 Subwoofer Kits The dual subwoofer kit (DF11-2VTD) is designed for those who want to take their system even further, doubling the output and delivering a true high-performance bass experience. Both kits include the necessary amplifier and wiring for a complete, integrated solution. “The HD11 platform is a huge opportunity, but the factory audio leaves a lot on the table when it comes to bass,” said Kelson Downes, Marketing Director of SSV Works. “We built these kits to fix that the right way, with a true plug-&-play solution that delivers real low-end performance without cutting up the vehicle or complicating the install. Whether it’s a single or dual setup, this is the kind of bass customers expect when they upgrade.” Can-Am Defender HD11 Subwoofer Kits In addition to performance and ease of installation, SSV Works continues to set itself apart with its Limited Lifetime Warranty on enclosures and speakers, giving dealers and customers confidence in long-term durability and reliability. Built to handle dust, water, vibration, and extreme riding conditions, these subwoofer kits are engineered to perform on any trail.

Off-roading to Kelly Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the most remote and rewarding adventures you can take from St. George. Unlike the well-traveled overlooks inside the national park, Kelly Point sits deep within the rugged Arizona Strip—a massive, isolated region defined by deep sand, volcanic rock, and endless desert horizons. This is not a quick scenic drive; it’s a full-day (or better overnight camping) expedition where the journey is every bit as memorable as the destination. The Journey: Distance, Fuel, and Preparation A round trip from the SR7 and River Road area in St. George clocks in at roughly 214 miles, making fuel planning absolutely critical. Most UTVs will require auxiliary fuel to make the trip. Cell service is virtually nonexistent once you leave the pavement, so this is not a ride to take lightly. Traveling with at least one additional vehicle is strongly recommended, along with tools, spare parts, recovery gear, and a reliable GPS navigation system. This is classic Arizona Strip riding—remote, unforgiving, and incredibly scenic. Route Overview: Simple but Remote The route itself is straightforward, even if the terrain can be demanding: Start at SR7 and River Road Take County Highway 5 for approximately 38 miles Turn onto BLM Road 103 and continue for another 42 miles to the park boundary Once you reach the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park, regulations change. Only street-legal vehicles are permitted beyond this point, so plan accordingly if you’re bringing a UTV. Park Boundary From here, the route transitions to NPS1203, beginning near Mt. Dellenbaugh where Mohave County Road 103 meets the park boundary. It’s about 26 miles one-way from the boundary to Kelly Point, and this is where the trail becomes more technical. Trail Conditions: Where It Gets Interesting While the initial sections of the route are relatively fast and flowing, conditions change notably as you pass Waring Ranch. The road becomes rougher, slower, and more rutted, with sections of sand and rock that demand careful driving. In a capable side-by-side like the Polaris RZR XP S 4 Ultimate 2026, the terrain is very manageable, but speeds drop significantly. Expect a slower, more technical crawl as you approach the point—this is not a place to rush. The Destination: Kelly Point Kelly Point delivers one of the most dramatic and least crowded views anywhere along the Grand Canyon. From the edge, you’ll look straight down thousands of feet to the Colorado River, with sweeping views that rival any overlook in the park—without the crowds, guardrails, or infrastructure. The sense of isolation here is unmatched. You’re standing on the edge of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, yet chances are you won’t see another person. Camping and Alternate Routes Camping is permitted in the area, making it an excellent overnight destination. Be sure to check current regulations and guidelines through the National Park Service before your trip. There are also multiple ways to access NPS1203 depending on your starting point and preferences, allowing for loop routes or extended exploration across the Arizona Strip. This flexibility makes Kelly Point an ideal anchor for a longer backcountry adventure. Final Thoughts Kelly Point isn’t just another trail ride—it’s a commitment. The distance, isolation, and terrain demand respect, but for those who come prepared, it delivers an unforgettable off-road experience. From deep desert sand to one of the most jaw-dropping overlooks in the Southwest, this route perfectly captures what makes UTV exploration so rewarding. 2026 Polaris RZR XP S Sport The post Ride Spot: Kelly Point – North Rim of the Grand Canyon appeared first on UTV Guide.

Can‐Am, is proud to celebrate Kyle Chaney’s hard-fought win at the Silver State 300, the third round of the American Off-Road Racing Championship (AORC) Series. After 5 hours of racing, only 53 seconds separated all three drivers on the podium. The racing was nothing short of epic. Kyle kept his pace on the extremely fast, brand new course, the entire race and relied heavily on his navigator Sadyiie Gray to make sure he didn’t miss any of his marks. The end result was pure poetry in motion. Kyle Chaney’s Feelings on his Triumphant win at the Silver State 300. “This is my first Silver State 300 and we stayed on pace all day – it was a fun and tight race. We saw the dust ahead of us and we just pushed as hard as we could, and we didn’t want to make any mistakes -but Saydiie was precise on her notes and so it made me comfortable knowing I could push – it made it super easy to drive the day with a good navigator. The Can-Am Maverick R was good all day. Silver State 300 is a fast track that’s hard to make up time on, so we kept up the pace with a racer ahead of us, and caught up to him so we knew we had him beat. Really happy with our win, and looking forward to coming back to the Legends Rally this summer. I want to thank Can-Am, Amsoil, Progressive, Maxxis, Raceline Wheels, Factory UTV, and my crew – I just want to thank everyone for getting me here.” Across more than five hours of racing, Can-Am drivers demonstrated consistency, durability, and race-winning performance. When the dust settled in Tonopah, NV, six Can-Am drivers and their navigators filled out the top ten positions. Phil Blurton continues to lead the 2026 UTV Pro AORC standings, and Can‐Am leaves the Silver State 300 with good momentum moving into the next race.

Tucked away on the remote Arizona Strip north of the Grand Canyon, Gunsight Point is one of the most underrated viewpoints in the Southwest. Unlike the crowded overlooks along the South Rim, this destination delivers a raw, untouched experience—one where you’re just as likely to hear the wind and ravens as you are to see another person. A Remote Overlook with Big-Time Views Gunsight Point sits on a high cliff edge in Coconino County, offering sweeping views into the canyon system carved by Kanab Creek and its tributaries. From this vantage point, you can look down on the dramatic meeting of Snake Gulch and Kanab Creek—two major drainage systems that eventually feed into the Colorado River deep within the canyon. View looking south towards the Grand Canyon from GunSight Point The perspective here is unique. Instead of the classic wide-open Grand Canyon panorama, Gunsight Point gives you a more intimate look into side canyons—steep, layered walls dropping thousands of feet into a maze of red rock and shadow. The contrast between desert plateaus above and the rugged canyon below is striking, especially during sunrise and sunset when the rock layers glow with deep reds and golds. Solitude You Can’t Find on the Rim One of Gunsight Point’s biggest draws is its isolation. While millions visit the Grand Canyon each year, very few make it out to this overlook. There are no guardrails, no visitor centers, and no entrance fees—just open land and uninterrupted views. Looking up Snake Gultch That solitude makes it feel like your own private overlook. It’s not uncommon to spend hours here without seeing another vehicle, making it a perfect spot for photography, quiet reflection, or simply soaking in the scale of the canyon without distractions. Looking up Kanab Creek towards Kanab, UT Getting There: A True Backcountry Adventure Reaching Gunsight Point is part of the experience. The route typically begins near Kanab or Fredonia, heading south toward the Arizona Strip before turning onto a network of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roads. The main route—often referred to as Gunsight Point Road—runs roughly 16 miles one way across open desert terrain. The road is generally considered moderate (around a 3/10 difficulty rating), but conditions can vary with weather. In dry conditions, most high-clearance vehicles or UTVs can make the trip, but mud after storms can quickly change that. This is classic Arizona Strip terrain: wide open spaces, juniper-dotted plains, and distant views of the Kaibab Plateau rising to the south. You can find the route to Gunsight Point on OnX Offroad.
