The Trial is being held in Davenport Canyon which is located in the Stansbury Range, about 10 miles west of the Miller Motorsport Park. This is private land owned by the Grantsville Soil Conservation District. There is a large National Forest tract adjacent to our site. There is primitive camping located on both tracts of land. The National Forest has both improved camp site (fee) and primitive (no fee). There is an improved camping area about 3 miles away from our Trial site with concrete slabs, tables, and toilets. It is located by the reservoir and there is no fee for its use. A stocked reservoir is adjacent to this camping area. Fishing boats are allowed, but not combustion engines, so electric only.
The dirt road to the site is well maintained and suitable for big rigs. However, the camp sites may be difficult for maneuvering larger rigs. Those with larger rigs may wish to park by the reservoir and ride up to the Trial site (about 3 miles) for a closer inspection. Those with pickup style campers and small trailers should not have any problems.

Loop info
The loop will be between 5900 msl and 6500 msl. Daytime temps of 50 – 70 degrees and nights between 25 – 40 degrees. It can and has snowed on these dates as recently as two years ago. So be prepared to ride in good, bad or ugly conditions. I can see the smiles on the faces of all our ex-pat UK riders now.

Team name(s) are not required but are encouraged (and should be printable in a family publication).
Team entry fee: $5 per rider, per team. Team entry fees will be used to cover the cost of team awards. Award presentations will immediately follow the event each day.

If the Trial uses any of the Stansbury Trail, the riders are in for a treat. Here's a rider navigating the tight twisty single track of the Stansbury Trail. Look close at the mountains in the background and you can see the main trail scaling the steep walls. > Larger photo here |
