Little Sahara Recreation Area used to be known as Jerico Sand Dunes, and this is a really fun place to play with your ATV all day long.
The ATV riding area is easy to access, located between Delta and Eureka on Highway 6 in Juab County you can get there by going south (or north) on I15 to Santaquin. Most of the signs will refer to "Jericho Junction" instead of Little Sahara. Follow the signs provided by the BLM and you are there. When you reach the park you will be greeted by a BLM officer who will request your recreation use fee.
At the ATV trailhead, there are three improved camping areas where you can stay overnight and there are restroom facilities available. As you enter the trailhead, you will be asked to purchase a whip flag for your ATV. If you already have a whip flag for your ATV, be sure and pack it along and save yourself the $12. The purchase of the whip flag is not optional. If you don't have one, you buy one or you won't get in and there's no getting around it. The fee for the whip flags is in addition to your daily use and/or overnight camping fees. Both motorcycles and ATVs are required to use whip flags at all times using these riding areas.
The ATV trails themselves are a big amount of fun. It started out as Jericho Sand Dunes and it wasn't much more than sandy hills to ride your OHV on. The dunes are a blast to ride your ATV on and just be aware of the other riders, both ATV and Motorcycle, around you. Also, if you are visiting in the summer months, be aware of the occasional rattlesnake that may make an appearance in the restroom. The snakes seek out the cooler locations in the stifling heat of the summer. So be aware and if you run into a rattler, leave. Even baby rattlesnakes can make you very ill or even kill you due to the high concentration of their venom.
This area is a blast for riding your ATV in a controlled environment. And best of all, each new wind storm erases almost all evidence of there having been any human presence in the area.
