Utah is one of the most ATV- and UTV-friendly states in the country. That’s probably why it plays home to more jamborees and rallies than any other state. Starting in April, you can easily find a rally going on somewhere in the state just about every month all the way through September. The event celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2012, making it one of the largest and longest running jamborees in the state. Taking place in September means comfortable temperatures and beautiful fall colors as the leaves begin to change. The Jamboree boasts nearly 60 guided trail rides through the Paiute and Great Western trial systems in central Utah. In addition to trail riding, event goers are treated to several catered dinners, desert socials, a raffle and even an ATV Rodeo. This year organizers will be raffling off a utility ATV to one lucky event goer. All that fun, food and excitement – as well as a chance to win a brand new – ATV for just $100!
