Parking Information
Stage Coach Hotel & Casino
You can leave your trucks, trailers, and RVs here if you stay here. Big parking lot across the street from the Stagecoach.
Note: You are responsible for transporting all your own luggage, gear, fuel, ice, and food in your SxS, with a store in each town for easy restocking—plus a gas station at every overnight stop where you MUST fuel up before departure.
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.
At least 2 Gallons extra fuel: Fuel stations can be sparse, and off-road trails are often remote, so having extra 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.
