And one of the best ways to explore our vast landscape, which includes deserts and rainforests and everything in between, is behind the wheel of a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV). The latest models from companies like Polaris are capable machines that can not only get you deep into the backcountry but do it in style, with features such as built-in GPS and entertainment systems, True On-Demand All Wheel drive, and even air conditioning. And driving into the backcountry is just the beginning.
