I have created two map sets for the trip: Paiute Trail Map 1 and Paiute Trail Map 2. Take a look and use the one that best fits your needs.

We will depart Fallon on 12 July around 7:30 am. Will meet for breakfast at Stockman’s at 6:30 am.
We will stay four nights (12-13-14-15) in Fillmore at the Wagons West RV Park and Campground, 545 N. Main ST, Fillmore, UT 84631-0901. Contact Wagons West at 435-743-6188 for reservations. YOU need to call and make reservations for these dates. Mention that you are part of the Fallon, NV ATV Club so we all get in the same general area. Cost is approximately $26/night.
On the morning of the 16th, we will depart Wagons West and drive approximately 55 miles south to the Beaver KOA at Manderfield Road, Beaver, UT 84713. We will stay three nights (16-17-18) at this KOA. Their number for reservations is 800-562-2912. The campgrounds number is 435-438-2924. YOU need to call and make reservations for these dates. Mention that you are part of the Fallon, NV ATV Club so we all get in the same general area. Cost is approximately $35/night.
In Utah, ATV permits ARE REQUIRED. These can be purchased once in Utah for $30/ATV. Utah also has reciprocity with California, so if you have a valid CA sticker, you’re OK. See below for more information on the permits.
Crystal is working on themes for the meals. I will post that information as soon as I receive it.
I will be posting a complete route map for the round trip from Fallon to Fillmore to Beaver and return to Fallon. Total mileage is approximately 950 miles.
There are many choices to make for our rides, so let’s plan to get together that first night and decide where we want to go out of Fillmore. We will have some maps of the trail system available. Since we will be permitted to ride our ATVs on the sides of roads, you can fuel up directly at service stations. As always, bring along at least a gallon of gas per bike for the rides, but you don’t have to carry gallons of gasoline between Fallon and Utah.
Elevations will vary from 5,066 to over 10,000 feet above sea level, so bring along adequate clothing. It’s best to dress in layers; and be prepared for thunderstorms/rain.
I was told that if you are riding on the side of the paved road (i.e. going to get gasoline, food, etc), helmets are required.

Utah ATV Permitting Requirements
Bottom line is permits are required and California has reciprocity. A Utah permit is $30 vice only $20 for a California permit, and California doesn't require all the paperwork for proof of ownership, etc. It seems to me we would be better off paying $20 and having this taken care of before we head to the Paiute Trail. You can get the permits at Big Valley Honda in Reno for $20 cash (no checks or credit cards accepted) per ATV.
If you decide to get a Utah permit, here is the scoop (and there's a lot of it)
-
Non-Resident Off-Highway Vehicle Permit Information Utah law requires any non-Utah resident who owns, operates or lends an Off-Highway Vehicle for use on any public land, trail, street, or highway in Utah must pay an annual Off-Highway Vehicle user fee. Some states have reciprocity, meaning there is a mutual agreement between states not to charge non-residents fees. To find out the status of your state, click here http://www.stateparks.utah.gov/ohv/reciprocity.html.
-
For more information, please call 1-800-OHV-RIDE. Individuals attending a state sanctioned Jamboree, or other OHV event, such as the Rocky Mountain ATV Jamboree or the Fillmore National ATV Jamboree (just to name 2 as examples) are exempt from this non-resident Off-Highway Vehicle user permit requirement for the duration of the event.
-
Individuals wanting to obtain a non-resident Off-Highway Vehicle user permit must provide proof of residency in a state other than Utah, and must provide proof that the Off-Highway Vehicle is not owned by a Utah resident.
-
Non-resident permits can be obtained either through the mail or in person at an authorized vendor. The process for obtaining a non-resident Off-Highway Vehicle user permit by fax or mail is outlined below. (NOTE: Incomplete applications, or applications submitted on other than the approved form, or application packets which do not contain all required fees and documents will not be processed.) Applying by fax or mail:

It was pointed out that Utah does have reciprocity with Nevada, which means they do accept our CCW permits. Go here to see the states that share reciprocity:
