UTBDR: 2022 Riding Season Route Updates
Updated November 27, 2022
November 27, 2022
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.
We are monitoring this new legislation and will provide updates as they develop.
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.

We are receiving reports of some major flood damage and washouts on Section 3,
There is no suggested reroute at this time, just to use caution and do NOT ride this area when wet or when there is a chance of rain, the roads are truly impassable.
- If you wish to skip this section, remain on Highway 191 from Green River to Wellington.

The La Sal Pass expert only section has been permanently closed due to severe washouts making the section impassable, especially on larger bikes. The next iteration of the map will reflect this update. For now, riders can download the complete updated GPX tracks HERE.
