The Maverick Sport DPS 1000 two‑seater from Sled Wyoming is a purpose‑built way to explore the trails around Sheridan, the Bighorn Mountains and the Bighorn Basin — a short, flexible rental that puts two people in a 60" wide Can‑Am UTV and sends them into backcountry terrain where downloadable maps replace cell reception and the day’s schedule is largely yours to set.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MACHINE

A 2‑person Can‑Am, Built for Wyoming Trails

The rental is a Maverick Sport DPS 1000 two‑seater, 60" wide and intended for two riders — a compact, stable platform for exploring the state’s trail network with a partner.

THE LOGISTICS

Flexible Pick‑Up and Drop‑Off Options

You don’t need to meet at the shop — Sled Wyoming offers multiple trailhead and lodge drop‑off points (default 9 a.m. drop‑off) and allows flexible return times, overnight rentals on consecutive days, and custom drop‑offs for an additional fee.

THE TERRAIN

Prepare for Off‑Grid Riding

Most trails used by these rentals have little to no cell service; riders are expected to use downloadable maps (the operator recommends the free Avenza app and Wyoming ORV GeoPDF maps) to navigate.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

A typical rental starts with a morning drop‑off at a designated trailhead (9 a.m. by default) and leaves the day open — there is no strict return time and most parties finish around 5 p.m. You’ll be handed machine instructions at pick‑up or upon return, can request specific drop‑off times, and may keep the vehicle overnight if you’re booking consecutive days.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should think twice.

1
Couples or Buddy TeamsIdeal: the two‑seat Maverick is designed for two riders to split navigation and driving on day trips into the Bighorn backcountry.
2
Solo RidersPossible but limited: the machine is built for two; solo renters can use it but should be comfortable operating the UTV and self‑sufficient off‑trail.
3
Families with Teen DriversConditional: the operator permits drivers as young as 16 with a valid driver’s license, but the primary renter must be at least 21 to book.
4
Off‑Grid ExplorersA strong match if you’re prepared for limited to no cell service and will use downloadable maps; not ideal if you require on‑demand connectivity or on‑site fuel at certain trailheads.

Practical planner

Details to review before reserving

What to Bring

Bring valid driver’s license(s) (renters must be 21 to book; drivers may be 16 with a license), offline maps (the operator recommends the free Avenza app and Wyoming ORV GeoPDF maps), and plan to refuel — fuel is not included and will either be your responsibility at locations with pumps or handled and charged by the operator where pumps aren’t available. Watch the operator’s 5‑minute orientation video before arrival.

Fuel & Costs

Fuel is not included. If you stay at Wyoming High Country Lodge you can fuel at the lodge pumps; at Spear‑O and Red Grade the operator will fuel machines and charge the card on file. Trailer rental and custom drop‑offs may be available for additional fees but are not guaranteed.

Timing & Returns

Default drop‑off is 9 a.m. at the trailhead; there is no strict return time, and many renters finish around 5 p.m. Specific drop‑off times can be requested and consecutive‑day overnight rentals are allowed.
