4 ATV and UTV Safety Tips for the Changing Weather in Idaho

Fall has arrived, and the landscapes across Idaho are transforming into a stunning backdrop for off-road adventures. Intermountain Power Sport Rentals LLC can provide something for all outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy in the cooler weather to help you make the most of this new season. Our ATV and UTV rentals are the perfect way to transport yourself from your mundane daily routine to the spectacular Idaho wilderness for a unique fall experience. But first, let’s go over four safety tips for riders heading out on the trails as the weather and riding conditions are changing.

1. Check the Weather Before You Head Out

Fall weather can be unpredictable, especially in Idaho. Make sure that you check the local weather forecast around the trails before you head out with your rental. You’ll want to know what temperature changes and wind conditions to expect in the areas you will be exploring so you can be prepared with adequate layers and gear. Also, you should choose your trail based on any challenges the weather presents.

2. Dress in Layers & Bring Appropriate Gear

Each day’s temperatures can vary widely in the fall season, such as beginning and ending cold, with some warmth sprinkled in between. Dressing in layers will allow you to adjust your clothing with fluctuating temperatures. Just wear waterproof and insulated layers to protect yourself from the wind and rain. Also, don’t forget your hat and gloves.

3. Take a Look at Trail Conditions

In addition to checking the weather before heading to the trails, you’ll also want to find out what conditions await you. The colder temperatures and precipitation of autumn can make trails unpredictable, slippery, and generally hazardous. Find a reliable source who can relay the conditions of trails with proper authority, or cautiously evaluate them yourself once you are there.

4. Pack Some Emergency Supplies

It’s always wise to pack emergency supplies before heading out on any outdoor adventure, especially when exploring remote areas with unpredictable weather. Be sure to bring a flashlight with extra batteries, a blanket, hand warmers, plenty of water, snacks, and a portable phone charger.
