Just got back from a few days on the paiute trail. The colors were amazing.
The dust was bad, really bad. The organized color ride was a waste of money. What the maps call trails around Maryvale are really roads, most can be drive in a pick-up. There are only a couple of "trails" and they are 50" only. Liz and Charlies cambground is great. Better trails can be found north in the Arapeen trail system in the mountains above Manti and Mt Pleasant (google Arapeen trials-they will send you a free map). Moab trails are better, more services in Moab, and they are not as dusty. YMMV.
