What area are you planning to be in? What is your rig set up for? There are numerous trails with easy to extreme difficulty. A little more info about what kind of wheeling you expect might help. But you will definately enjoy you self.

Yeah, what he said!

Dunno if you're aware of it, but Avalanche Ranch is a "pay to 'wheel" offroad park. You'll want to look 'em up on the web and see if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.

Also check out www.traildamage.com for Colorado trail ratings, directions, and pics.

And let's not forget the books by Charles Wells:
Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails Vol 1+2.

Colorado is a big state, those books organize the trails by areas which should help.
