San
Juan County, Utah Vies to Become the
Premier ATV Venue in the Country
 Monticello, UT, Friday, June 20, 2003 -- Local governments,
businesses and individuals have come together to showcase the
beauties of San Juan County, Utah for the ATV enthusiasts of
the nation. The San Juan Safari is a three-day event which
will be held on September 25, 26 and 27, 2003 in Monticello
and Blanding, UT which organizers hope will bring up to 350
ATV riders to the area and help establish San Juan County as a
premier location for outdoor adventures.
Riders
will have the opportunity to ride a 25 - 30 mile trail each
day of the event with a knowledgeable trail guide. The event
will close with a dinner and entertainment on Saturday night.
Registration and sponsorship information can be obtained at
http://www.sanjuansafari.com/ or by calling (435) 587-ATV5.
San Juan
County Utah boasts of high mountains, deep canyons and world
class ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) or "quad" trails in a very
scenic part of the Four Corners area. A portion of these
trails will be used this year to entice participants to
explore the other scenic wonders that are found in the area
(including Canyonlands and Arches National Parks) and return
next year with their friends.
Riding
an ATV has become a popular pastime for people from a wide
range of backgrounds and experience. Youth and vibrant seniors
alike enjoy the ease of motoring along an ATV trail. The use
of an ATV extends the possibility of exposure to the
backcountry to a variety of people who would otherwise be
restricted because of physical limitations. An ATV jamboree
provides an abundance of scenic opportunities, leisurely
touring and camaraderie.
The San
Juan Safari is an annual event coordinated by the City of
Monticello, Monticello Chamber of Commerce, San Juan County,
City of Blanding, and Blanding Chamber of Commerce with help
from many local businesses and individuals.
