I've got a question for you guys with side by sides. My buddy has a Polaris and I don't know what kind, but I can find out if it matters. He'd like to go to URE with me sometime and I've got an '01 TJ. I've seen plenty of SxS on the trails there, but are there some trails that are better suited for a first timer at URE on a SXS than others? Any in particular that he should stay away from? I'd hate to take him on one that was too difficult (or dangerous for a first timer) and have him hate the experience.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Keep in mind this first timer is a 50 something year old who has never taken it on the trails.
 
Yeah, it really comes down to the driver. If he's a little sketched out taking it over rocks or driving off-camber, take him on the bunny trails first. Start maybe with Falls Dam and Dickey Bell, then see how he's feeling when you get around to the Rocky Mountain Loop. You can either head up the hill toward Kodak, or turn around and go back the way you came.

Just remember that the SXS can't ride down the FS roads. You can cross them at marked trail crossings, and I *believe* you can ride from Wolfs Den to Art Lilley on 516, but that's it.
