We had an incredible time on the 4 hour ride! The views were spectacular and the trail was perfect for first timers! I would highly reccomend this spot!

Self-guided ATV adventures through eight different biomes on 80 miles of scenic trails.
American ATV Rentals gives you the keys and lets you explore at your own pace. No tour guide talking over the engine noise, no stopping when you don't want to stop. Just you, your machine, and 80 miles of trails winding through some of southern Utah's most diverse terrain.
The full-day rental is the way to go. You'll cross through eight different biomes (yes, eight) as the trail climbs from desert scrub into pine forests and back down again. The scenery changes every few miles. Red rock gives way to aspen groves. Meadows open up where you least expect them. It's the kind of variety that makes eight hours feel like three.
David, the owner, runs a tight ship without being uptight about it. He'll walk you through everything during orientation (the legal stuff, where to go, what not to do) and then trust you to handle yourself out there. People appreciate that he actually cares about your experience, not just getting you out the door.
The self-guided format means you can take that photo stop without asking permission or push through to the next viewpoint if you're feeling it.
They rent several types of vehicles:
ATVs for solo riders or couples
Quads for a classic off-road experience
Side-by-sides for families or larger groups
The trails connect well with trips to Bryce Canyon National Park (about 30 minutes away), making this a solid addition to a park-focused itinerary. Fair warning: even the skeptics end up converts. Something about controlling your own adventure through this landscape just works.
The rental location sits in Panguitch, right off Highway 89. Easy to find, plenty of parking for your truck and trailer if you're bringing one. They handle snowmobile rentals in winter too, same self-guided philosophy, different kind of fun.

The UTV ride itself was good, however, the experience with the company was not. We showed up at our scheduled time and it was two hours before we actually hit the trail. The owner was sending two different groups off at the same time, both with different machines and different trails. We had to sit through the instructions for the other group's machines and had to wait while they were taken to their trail head. At the end of our time, we had to fill the UTVs with gas and hose them down. We also had to pay in full up front, with no opportunity for cancellation or refunds. I would look for other alternatives before booking with American ATV Rentals.

Dave was amazing. Great instructions and encouragement. Had a great time. We did not make it to the end as we stopped often for photos and videos. If you want to make it to the end and back it will take the full 4 hours. Also, if you’re afraid of heights, have someone else drive.

My wife and I rented a side by side for an excursion to Peterson Point last week. What a fantastic experience!! David was a top notch professional. He provided detailed instruction and ensured we felt safe and comfortable on the machine and with the route. He made all aspects of the process simple. We paired up with a really great couple and enjoyed every second of the adventure. The views were breathtaking. I highly recommend this business!

We had a great ride to Peterson Point and loved the scenery in the canyon and on top. We loved that our 17, 20 and 22 year olds could drive their own 4-wheelers, which made it a blast for everyone.
