The Arapeen ATV Jamboree and Emery County Recreation District have tried to take every possible
precaution to assist you in having a safe and enjoyable adventure while you are here.
Because of the nature of this particular sport, it must be understood by every participant that
there are inherent dangers in riding ATV's. The Jamboree, its sponsors and supporters
and public land management agencies cannot be responsible or liable for any accidents or mishaps,
or personal or property damage which occurs during Jamboree events. By registering for
the Jamboree, each rider takes upon himself personal responsibility for his own safety and well
being, and that of others in his care. A State sponsored rider training course is offered
to every rider who desires such training prior to participation in Jamboree events. This
course is voluntary but is strongly recommended for new or less experienced riders (Never-Ever
and Beginner riders). Refer to the Jamboree Agenda for course date, time and location.
Riders are required to stay with their groups and follow designated guides. This will
help provide for the safety and comfort of all riders. Guides will assist the group in
determining and maintaining a safe and comfortable speed and will determine the routes to be
followed. We must emphasize that the Arapeen ATV Trail, the Great Western Trail, and
the San Rafael Swell Trails are not intended for speed. They are intended for a more
leisurely pace which lends itself to the nature of the trails and the mountainous, often rough
terrain. Good judgment and responsible riding on the part of every rider must be
exercised at all times on the trail. Each rider will be responsible for compliance with
the conditions set forth herein, and for the condition and operation of his or her own ATV and
related equipment, and of his or her own safety and personal protective gear and that of those
in their charge.
Utah State ATV laws indicate that where trail areas located on public lands, and have
been properly designated as open to ATV use, those involved in land management and organized,
permitted uses on those trails bear no responsibility or liability for accidents which may happen
due to trail use or participation in events involving those trails. Again we emphasize
personal responsibility for safety and well being on the trail.
Jamboree personnel have attempted to assign a rating to each event, in order to help riders
determine which events will be within the scope of their experience and ability, and to avoid
those that may be beyond their abilities. These ratings are not according to any established
system, but have been based only on the experience and personal knowledge of the guides.
A variety of rides have been selected in an effort to provide events suitable to the abilities
and wants of every rider. If riders have any questions or concerns about the difficulty
of any event, they should ask the guides or other Jamboree personnel prior to joining with the
group. Riders are encouraged to pick the Jamboree rides and events which suit their individual
experience and riding abilities.
