New Tracks Available for Download
A new version of the UTBDR is available labeled UTBDR-June2025
This update includes a few minor refinements and a few new updates:
- A change has been made to Section 3 to reclassify part of the route as ALT Harder on a section of the Kokopelli Trail just east of Moab. This 3mi stretch is somewhat steep, rocky and rutted and has deteriorated over time.
- The main route remains on Sand Flats road and is 158mi
- As a reminder there is no fuel available on this section for those 158 mi, aside from detouring to Thompson Springs if you can’t make it to Green River.
See attached screenshots for reference.

Utah has passed a new law HB180 beginning Jan 1, 2023 requiring all operators of OHV vehicle operators to take a mandatory online OHV Education Course before operating on public land.
However, at this time it doesn’t appear that street-legal adventure motorcycles apply to this new law:
I have a street-legal motorcycle. Do I need a Utah non-resident OHV permit?
If your street-legal motorcycle is registered and plated in your home state, then you do not need to purchase a Utah non-resident OHV permit. If a machine is plated and follows all of Utah’s street-legal requirements, then it is no longer considered an off-highway vehicle and is technically considered a “passenger vehicle” or in this case, a street-legal motorcycle.
If you will be operating non-street legal vehicles such as a dirtbike, atv, or side by side, or riding on designated trails that aren’t public roads, you will need to abide by this new law.
