Route Schematic
Trailhead and Lodge Pick‑Up Schematic
Common pick‑up and drop‑off points serve as the jumping‑off places for a day on the UTVs; each is a practical staging area rather than a guided route.
Red Grade Road Snowmobile Parking Lots (Sheridan)
From Sheridan head on US Hwy 335 toward Big Horn; where pavement turns to gravel is the trailhead — three large concrete lots marked for snowmobile parking. A representative will meet you at the Red Grade location for handoff.
Spear‑O‑Wigwam Guest Ranch (Forest Service Road 293)
If you’re staying at Spear‑O the rental can be dropped off the evening prior or the morning of your rental; the ranch staff will hold keys and help you locate the machine. Note: Spear‑O does not have wifi or reliable cell service.
Wyoming High Country Lodge (Forest Road 13 off Highway 14)
For guests at High Country Lodge the machine can be left with lodge staff who will distribute keys and point out the vehicle; this lodge does have wifi and on‑site gas pumps for fueling.
Renters must meet the operator’s age and licensing rules and be prepared to operate off‑grid; Sled Wyoming may charge for damage, recovery, and shop time if incidents occur, and can change drop‑off arrangements or require fees for custom services.

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
