For about two years we have been considering the purchase of a cabin for the use of motorcycling and snowmobiling. We have found properties in the Bear River Service area and the Monte Cristo/Causey area and have riden very little at both locations. Just wondering which of the two areas would be the best for playing in the dirt and snow. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like yahoo maps took me to the wrong location and you are headed North after all.

Anybody have any input on sledding in this area, or a snow report?

I would do bear river area rather than monte. monte is good but you have to know where to go and its easy access to mantua area also. Its a bit of a ride but you can get to hardware ranch from monte too. Not sure about atv stuff in either.

Dirt and snow are endless in the North Slope/Bear River area. Also nice for kids to get out if you choose to tame it down for them.

Best part is that we are great tour guides.
Just sign up Marc so we can ride.

Been riding the monte area for many years. It is all most closed down to atv and motorcycles. The area has been sold off and is mostly private now. As for snowmobiling it is still pretty good on week days and sheer hel_ on week ends. If I were buying it would be bear river area.

HA! Yep!

Monte is beautiful with a lot of great riding! Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of private ground, making fun in the dirt a little more difficult.
