Teryx 4 750 4x4 SxS Lake Havasu Adventure Ride
::Continued::
The people at the resort were really surprised
to see us as they did not think we would have
been able to make it. The Hualapia Mountain Resort
offered nice selection on their restaurant menu.
We were able to relax and fill up on some great
food before they closed. As we ate we watched
out the window as the snow kept falling. That
night the news forecasted another 1 to 2 feet
of new powder by morning.

A
rare spring snow storm moved in over the
Arizona mountains during the adventure &
the Kawasaki Teryx 4 750 4x4 Side-by-Sides
were covered with snow after parking them
overnight at the Hualapia Mountain Resort |
On Monday morning we woke to about two feet of
fresh snow as forecasted. With the restaurant
closed due to the weather we munched on snacks
that we had brought with us. We had another 110
miles back to Lake Havasu and decided to get an
early start. We wiped off the Teryx units as they
had a ton of snow on them. We layered up and started
out on the trails once again.
Rick “Wally” Wallace would be our
trail guide for the second leg of our trip. Rick
owns Side X Side Outfitterz in Oakhills, CA and
has done many tours throughout the United States.
Wallace would be guiding us back to Lake Havasu
from the Hualapia Mountain Resort on a different
trail than before.

| Despite
the unexpected heavy snow, the Kawasaki
Teryx 4 750 SxS made it through the winter
wonderland |
The Teryx 750 4x4 Side-by-Sides had no problems
powering though the deep snow even while going
uphill! It was fun to see all the deer running
alongside us going through the snow. It was also
pretty funny to see cactus with so much snow of
them. We finally started getting back down to
desert floor and the snow started to disappear.
Right before we got out of the snow we saw something
standing right in the middle of the trail. As
we got closer to it we saw how big it was. It
was a huge cow that I think wanted to know why
we were on this trail! He was accompanied by a
small herd of cows and bulls, and some had quite
large horns that we did not want to test on the
side doors of the Teryx 4 side-by-sides.

Kawasaki Teyrx 4 750 SxS covered over 200
miles in the two day adventure |
It was fun again getting back on the trail as we
had to climb one last range of mountains back in
the snow for a few miles and then back down to the
desert floor for the final run to Havasu. It was
a really nice ride as it had warmed up and we had
started peeling off layers of cloths we had on to
keep warm on the morning ride.
We had just been in two feet of snow with the
Teryx Side-by-Sides and now we were on dusty rocky
trails. As we made our way down the winding trail
and could see Lake Havasu in the distance. We
arrived back in Havasu at about 3:30pm and immediately
starting talking about our experiences the last
two days over the 200 mile Kawasaki Teryx Side-by-Side
adventure.
