"Richfield is a small town located in Sevier County, roughly three hours south of Salt Lake City, on the doorstep of southern Utah. Like much of Utah, the area is known for its outdoor activities - hunting, fishing, and, don't forget the ATVs. Miles and miles and miles of ATV trails surround Richfield. ATVing is such a popular hobby that it is legal to ride quads, side-by-sides, and other OHVs on city streets."
"Bordering Richfield is the Pahvant Range, with elevations quickly climbing to six and seven thousand feet just outside the city, and eventually topping out above 10,000. Just west of downtown - like, ride your bike from the hotel - is the Pahvant Trail System. The system began just a few years ago in 2019. Volunteers and high school students spearheaded the project, digging approximately 16 miles. And they worked fast."
"This is Spinal Tap. I mean, Spinal Tap is the name of the phenomenal trail in the Pahvant Range. It is also the name of an incredible mockumentary, but that's for another time. We came to ride Spinal Tap, with nearly 5,000 feet of descending across 20 miles. Trails with these stats are things of legend that, unfortunately, often don't live up to the hype."
Richfield sits in Sevier County about three hours south of Salt Lake City and supports extensive outdoor recreation including hunting, fishing, and numerous ATV routes with OHVs permitted on city streets. The nearby Pahvant Range rises quickly to elevations above 10,000 feet just west of downtown. Volunteers and high school students launched the Pahvant Trail System in 2019, initially digging about 16 miles and expanding the network to roughly 38 miles across 30 trails. Spinal Tap is a prominent trail in the system, delivering nearly 5,000 feet of sustained descent over 20 miles and wide acclaim.
