About this event
Red Rock Wonders & Slot Canyon Trails | Hosted by UTV Offroad Adventures
Two Full Days – Two Epic Loops Through Southern Utah’s Scenic Backcountry
Get ready for an unforgettable UTV weekend based out of Kanab, Utah — famously known as “Little Hollywood” for its dramatic red rock landscapes featured in countless western films. This two-day event includes two distinct loops that showcase the very best of Southern Utah’s rugged beauty:
- Ride One: Slot Canyons & Red Rock Formations
- Ride Two: Scenic Vistas & Hidden Caves
No need to choose — you’ll ride both routes throughout the weekend.
Why Kanab is an Off-Road Paradise
Nestled between towering cliffs and vast desert plains, Kanab is the gateway to Utah’s most iconic terrain. These guided rides wind through slot canyons carved by flash floods, over slick rock ledges, across open desert valleys, and past sandstone cliffs and natural caves.
You’ll ride along canyon rims, explore hidden geological wonders, and take in panoramic views that seem to stretch forever. With its combination of technical trails and stunning natural features, Kanab is truly a bucket-list destination for off-roaders.
Basecamp: Kanab, Utah
Our adventure begins in Kanab — a scenic small town surrounded by world-famous landmarks like Zion National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Coral Pink Sand Dunes. With its western charm and unbeatable access to the red rock backcountry, Kanab is the perfect home base.

Ride 1: Hog Canyon & Surrounding Area – 50+ Miles

What you must bring
Water: Staying hydrated is crucial, especially during off-road adventures. Pack enough water to last you throughout the day.
Spare Tire: Off-road terrain can be unpredictable. Having a spare tire is essential in case of punctures or other tire-related issues.
Spare CVT Belt: A spare Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) belt is essential for UTVs. It's a critical component, and having a spare can save you from being stranded.
Tools: Carry a basic toolkit with tools like wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, and other essential tools for quick repairs on the trail.
Full Tank of Gas: Before each ride or day, ensure your UTV has a full tank of gas. Off-road trails can be remote, and having ample fuel is a must.
Highly Recommended:
Communication Radios: Communication radios are invaluable for staying connected with your group, especially in areas with limited cell reception. They enhance safety and coordination on the trails.
Cell Phone: While communication radios are essential, bringing your cell phone is still important for emergency situations. Ensure it's fully charged and protected from the elements.
These must-haves and recommendations will help ensure your UTV off-road adventures are safe, enjoyable, and well-prepared for any challenges that may arise during your journey.
