Winter 4x4 Jamboree 2019
Thursday, January 17 - Saturday, January 19, 2019
The Winter 4x4 Jamboree is organized and run by the very dedicated volunteers from the non-profit (501 (c)(3)) Desert Roads and Trails Society (Desert RATS). Last year, thanks to all of our attendees, we were able to donate $41,000 to the Utah Public Lands Alliance, Utah 4 Wheel Drive Association, Washington County Search and Rescue, and Share Trails/Blue Ribbon Coalition. These organizations work tirelessly for you to keep our trails open and available to our sport.
Winter 4x4 Jamboree Committee has 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 during off-road recreation. The Winter 4x4 Jamboree, its Sponsors, its Supporters and its Public Land Management Agencies cannot be responsible or liable for any personal or property damage which occurs from any accidents or mishaps during this event.
By registering for the Winter 4x4 Jamboree, each participant has personal responsibility for their own safetly and well-being, and that of others in his/hers care. Partcipants are required to stay with their groups and follow designated trails lead by their guides. This will provide for safety and comfort of all participants. Experienced Guides will assist the groups by determining and maintaining a safe and comfortable speed, and will determine the routes to be followed.
All Participants must first register on the web site and provide information about their vehicle’s modifications to ensure they will be capable of reasonably running the trails they wish to sign up for. After registering on the website, they can go to event registration (after November 12) and sign up for trails.
Notice: During the three days of the event, Sand Mountain Recreation Area (SMRA) trails used by the Winter 4x4 Jamboree will be CLOSED to non-participants during the hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm. The sand dunes and access roads will remain open to the public. To see the list of trails used by the Winter 4x4 Jamboree can be found here.
