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
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.
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.
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.

Details to review before reserving
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 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.
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.
