You push your limits, whether it’s conquering boulder fields or ripping sandy dunes. And you want to do it now. You utilize your ORV as a day-tripping fun machine, and if you have only today to rev your adrenaline to the red line, you don’t want to waste any time.
You’re always scouting the next ORV trail that’ll get your group out there for a destination day of hiking, paddling, or fishing—even perhaps camping for a night. And a little rough terrain won’t stop you from including an extra activity with your day-trip. You just need a quest-ready ride that will haul you, your friends, and your favorite toys to the launch zone.
You want to ride way beyond the trailhead to unlock secluded vistas rarely seen by others. And when you’ve found that magic spot, you want to have all the overnight gear to extend your trip, plus the equipment to take on lots of added activities—whether it’s rock climbing routes, mountain biking side-trails, or whitewater kayaking sections along the journey. Your ORV is a multiday adventure platform capable of deeper off-road exploration because you know getting there is at least half the fun.

Where to go
RZR Whip Flag
High-flying visibility flags are such a smart idea when riding dunes that some public ORV areas require them. And even on non-dunes terrain, they still lend major flair. The RZR-branded red flag comes with a black fiberglass rod and steel mounting plate.
HD Extreme Kick-Out
Rock Sliders
Navigating rocky terrain begs extra protection between obstacles and your ORV’s body and rear wheels. Extreme Kick-Out Rock Sliders’ rugged steel tube construction provides that buffer without compromising performance or ground clearance.
RIGID® and Pro Armor
Light Bars
For when the sun sets before your ride ends, a roof- mounted LED light bar provides a broad beam to reveal what surrounds you, or a forward-focused beam to light the trail
Rockford Fosgate® Audio Roof
The accessory that begs the question: Can your roof blow your roof off? The built-in Rockford Fosgate complete system brings dual 400-watt amplifiers, eight 50-watt speakers, and a 10-inch subwoofer to your ORV.
The
of
Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area
About 90 minutes from San Diego, this California state park offers 85,000 acres of open riding on desolate desert trails and sand dunes—in other words, an ORV paradise. Riders are especially drawn to a huge dune dubbed Blow Sand Hill and an especially challenging 200-foot-high granite and sand formation called Devil’s Slide.
Silver Lake State Park ORV Area
This subset of a state park along Lake Michigan offers a 500-acre ORV zone, and the only sand dune riding east of the Mississippi River. Dunes on Lake Michigan? Yep, and they are massive, so maintain momentum when headed upward. A perfect lap takes in Sunset Hill, Dune Buggy Junction, and the South Flats. You just might encounter a surprise food truck along the way!
Hatfield-McCoy Trail System
West Virginia lives up to its “wild and wonderful” slogan with the Hatfield-McCoy Trails, a sprawling network of repurposed logging and coal-industry roads. More than 900 miles of interconnected trails are adjacent to scores of campgrounds and bunkhouses. ORVs are allowed on the Barwallow, Cabwaylingo, and Ivy Branch trails within HMT. This is deep-woods, switchback-heavy riding at its finest, whether you take a long, winding tour on easier trails or brave a more technical “black diamond” shortcut.
Black Hills, South Dakota
ORVs enable some of the best access to this gorgeous region of forests and rocky outcroppings. Black Hills National Forest provides hundreds of miles of ORV trails and 21 designated trailheads. Base out of Custer, Spearfish, or Deadwood and you’ll no doubt encounter similarly awed ORV enthusiasts. You’ll also find plenty of narrower, non-ORV trails, so rack up those mountain bikes.
Lake City, Colorado
In the Old West, the rugged San Juan Mountains were dotted with gold and silver mines, a legacy that lingers in the scenic, high-altitude trails that connected them. The ORV-designated Alpine Loop winds 65 miles between the towns of Ouray, Silverton, and Lake City (an ideal entry point to the loop). You’ll pass by ghost towns and climb a pair of mountain passes—Cinnamon and Engineer—well above 12,500 feet as you link the outdoor adventure hubs of this high-country crown.
Hurricane, Utah
Off-roading is prohibited in nearby Zion National Park, but this gateway area more than compensates. Of special interest is Sand Hollow State Park, which offers a network of ORV trails (within the Sand Mountain OHV Riding Area) of varied lengths and technical challenges through the region’s famous red sandstone backdrop. In the middle of it all is an incongruous turquoise-water reservoir that’s perfect for kayaks and SUPs.
Pryor Mountains, Montana
Ready to roll into a postcard from the Old West? This area encompasses more than 19,000 acres of sprawling rangeland, serrated limestone peaks, and rugged canyons. In between designated areas where camping is permitted, more than 20 miles of dirt road splinter off into tributary trails that lead to ice caves and wildflower meadows where wild horses graze. With that much space, you’ll have plenty of room to roam—just grab a Montana OHV permit and hit the range.
Bulldog Canyon OHV Area, Arizona
Situated about an hour from Phoenix, this dedicated section of Tonto National Forest offers 20 miles of open routes that usher riders into the Goldfield Mountains and the northeastern stretches of the otherworldly Sonoran Desert. Dispersed camping is prohibited near the area’s main access gates, but that’s OK—you have no plans to stop that close to civilization.
Paiute Trails, Utah
This destination-worthy trail system has grown along with the popularity of ORVs and now includes an astounding 1,500 miles of wooded and alpine trails that unspool from tiny Marysvale, Utah. Best of all, the Paiute Trails are administered by neighboring Fishlake National Forest, which allows the use of forest roads to access remote areas for dispersed camping. Bring everything you need, because you’re going to want to
stay a while.

Off-road versatility is the hallmark of the GENERAL XP 1000. At 100 horsepower, it possesses all the power you need. Add in heavy-duty shocks, a 600-pound dumping cargo box, and a receiver hitch rated to tow 1,500 pounds worth of bikes, kayaks, SUPs, or other gear, and it’s just begging to connect you to new adventures alongside your friends and family.

Outdoor explorers know that if you aim to spend a few days in the backcountry, you have to be adaptable. The Polaris XPEDITION is that to its core, and so much more. This game-changing ORV is the first to feature a rack system–compatible flat roof and fold-flat rear seats for additional storage options. (That means tons of gear.) When you’re transporting your crew to a beyond-the-trailhead haven, the enclosed cab is key for comfort. How far will you go? Considering the Polaris XPEDITION’s 200-mile-plus fuel range*, perhaps farther than you ever thought.
*Range estimates based on manufacturer data on typical customer driving usage and conditions. Actual range varies based on conditions such as external environment, weather, speed, cargo loads, rates of acceleration, vehicle maintenance, and vehicle usage.

When it comes to choosing an ORV, pro off-road racer RJ Anderson says he relies on one essential metric: maximum fun output. That’s why two of his six Polaris vehicles are RZR Pro Rs.
“I have a four-seater Pro R for pre-running courses down in Baja, though these vehicles are so capable that I can pretty much pre-run at race speed,” he says. Anderson’s other Pro R is a zippy two-seater reserved just for high-octane competition—though that designation hasn’t stopped him from getting rowdy with his customized ride in other settings. In 2021, he used his two-seater to jump a series of hair-raising urban obstacles in Long Beach, California, including flights of stairs, other vehicles, and a freeway overpass. In 2022, Anderson drove a RZR Turbo R from the base of Mammoth Mountain—renowned for its steep skiing—to just below the 11,053-foot summit. He went on to rip through the legendary Mammoth Motocross course (pictured), becoming the first person to do it in a side-by-side UTV.
“It’s not only a beast to drive with great suspension and four-cylinder engine,” Anderson says of the stock four-seater Pro R that’s his go-to ride, “but it comes with built-in audio and a heads-up display map that I can link up all my friends to. So when I go on these weekend adventures, it’s got everything I need to maximize the fun.”

As a professional off-road athlete, Casey Currie spends most of his working hours behind the wheel of an ORV. But these days, many of his favorite adventures take place off the race course. “I’m a big family guy,” he says. Whenever possible, Currie gets out on the road with his wife and extended family around Corona, California. His four-seat ORV lets him bring the whole crew, and Polaris’s top-notch power and performance means he can tackle the technical trails and terrain that catch his eye—even with the vehicle loaded down.
This summer, the Curries plan to take their GENERAL XP 1000 to the Rubicon Trail for a few weekends of High Sierra camping and exploring. Throughout the season, they’ll load their machines with kayaks, rods, and tackle and search for new bass-fishing spots on the Santa Ana River.
“One of the biggest features for me,” Currie adds, “is the way Polaris has developed the shocks. The machine’s stability is controlled all the time. So, if you want to drive fast, it’ll adapt for faster driving, and if you want to drive slow, the suspension will soften up.” It’s a welcome function to keep the ride smooth regardless of speed—and to ensure all-day comfort for the full family when there’s an added experience beyond the ride.

When Canadian pro mountain biker Brandon Semenuk got his first side-by-side vehicle, it unlocked tons of new terrain that he and his riding buddies had never been able to reach before. “We can get into these farther zones with all the tools and bikes we need, often in areas that wouldn’t be possible otherwise,” he says. Now, Semenuk has regular access to high-alpine boulder fields as well as forested trails deep in the Canadian backcountry.
Semenuk remains impressed with the machine’s ability to handle adverse riding situations that come up on trail. “I’ll load mine up with me plus three crew, four bikes, and tools—plus water and food—and it just handles it.”
Over the years, Semenuk has used his vehicles to haul bikes everywhere from British Columbia’s North Shore Mountains to the remote deserts of Utah and Arizona. All Polaris machines—including the new Polaris XPEDITION—have the power to carry speed over long stretches of open desert, as well as the torque to crawl over wet logs, roots, and boulders. That performance allows Semenuk to reach more challenging trails faster, regardless of weather.
“I’m able to get on the bike sooner and spend more time on the bike once I’m there,” he explains. “That’s helped me become a better athlete.”
