Monte Cristo Snowmobiling with State Parks

We had the opportunity to go out snowmobiling with Ronald Bringhurst, Park Manager from State Parks and head out to the Monte Cristo area last Tuesday. We try and make this trip every so often to keep up with the latest things going on with State Parks and have a little fun.

Ronald took us out for a ride over to the Hardware Ranch area and did a interview that will be airing this Saturday morning on the Utah Outdoors on KSL Newsradio show. Ronald brought us up to speed on some of the issues he see's going on in the area.



Besides some of the obvious problems, Ronald stated his biggest concern is youth not wearing helmet's and the use of alcohol while riding snowmobiles. Many folks don't understand that it is the same as getting pulled over in a car and you CAN have your license taken away! Use common sense and leave the booze home.



We would always recommend that you check the current conditions before you go out. State Parks and the Utah Snowmobile Association put together a great grooming report for many of the trail within the Utah State Parks. Stop past and check out the report!



Some great maps are also available for all the complexes in Utah on the Utah Snowmobile Associations web site. Take a map with you and know how to use it!
