A battle is raging over ATVs on public lands [View all]

HANKSVILLE, Utah - Brett Stewart was in the lead, bouncing behind the wheel of a Can-Am Maverick X3 off-road vehicle that he likened to a “Ferrari on dirt.”

Then came Jean Robert Babilis, a 70-year-old with a handgun in the console, pushing a 114-horsepower Polaris side-by-side through the red rock canyonlands of southern Utah - spraying sand in defiance of the environmentalists who’ve fought a years-long battle to keep his kind away.
