Hello all, frequent reader but new member and glad to finally join the community. I love my polaris and every single of the 3700 miles I’ve put on it.

I’ve ridden Taylor Park numerous times, Silverton/Ouray and the Paiute a couple times each, and the Bighorns of WY once. Although all of these areas I’ve been to are unique, they all offer great rocky trails, scenic mountain passes, views so beautiful you can’t describe, great fishing and wildlife, and for the most part you can unload for a week or 2 and throw the truck keys in the garbage. Here is my question:

We are considering headed east next year to Hatfield McCoy. Have any of you been to any of the western places I’ve mentioned above as well as WV for a comparison? How does it compare in terms of the highlights I mentioned above? I’m worried the views and overall experience won’t compare. For us, we love riding but it’s more about the sights and experiences and the ATV’s serve more as our preferred method to accomplish those things. I can ride muddy trails near home (MO AR areas) and don’t want to get all that way and be disappointed in comparison to our experiences on the western trails.

Any unbiased opinions are appreciated. And if anyone has any questions about any of those western trails please shoot, I know them all fairly well.

Thanks
