It seems there are a few people interested in stock jeep/novice runs in Colorado so, I thought I would start a thread to help organize some trail runs.

Let's try to hold out first event in June. Please state what day in June works for you. If you have experience 4wheeling and would be willing to lead us on a trail, please post below.

Thank you,
Scott

I know this post is a little old, but PLEASE be considerate of where you go mudding. China Wall is getting shut down because people were reckless and leaving the trail just to have a little "fun in the mud." this is how all our trails get shut down...

if it's not an actual trail, please don't go in there. :)

I'll be going through Colorado in August and would be interested in any run people are doing. I'll be heading south from Steamboat Springs back to Texas Aug 10-14 looking at easy to moderate trails that I can do with a stock TJ with SUV tires :brickwall (245/75/16 Michelin LTX M/S2 [stupid dealership]). My plan is to take 3 to 4 days leaving Steamboat Springs camping and wheeling on my way back home.

Any suggestions on camping sites, trails, mountain bike trails, etc are all appreciated.

These books are a good start. You can source them from different places.

For Northern CO:

For Central & Southern CO:

And this website:

I would suggest you take the western side of Colorado through Montrose, Ouray, and Durango although going south through Leadville, Buena Vista, and Salida isn't bad either.

I'll be out in Colorado in a week for about 8 days doing some camping and novice offroading. I'm a bit of a flatlander, having grown up in IL, but I'm excited to test out my Liberty on some trails and enjoy the scenery. I might be up for a novice run depending on the location.

We did Slaughterhouse Gulch off 285 by Conifer last weekend. Nothing too crazy and it was pretty dry. We have a WJ with 2 inch lift and had no major issues on obstacles, the mud pits are dry and the trail is in good condition. There are some steep rocky spots but there are multiple ways to go up so you can choose the easiest path.

Went up Yankee hill again. The rain Thursday made the trail harder which was nice. I took the hardest lines except going up the quarts mine.
