"Off Roading" or "4 Wheeling"is one of MY favorite activities in Colorado. With THOUSANDS of miles of trails, forest roads, and scenic mountain passes - wheeling is one of the best ways to experience Colorado!

Probably the best way for a visitor to find some of the roads & trails in Colorado, is by purchasing one of the many 4x4 road guides that have been written about our state.

• Here is an Amazon search for Colorado 4x4 Books

There are rules in 4wheeling, common courtesies that you will definitely want to follow, to ensure your experience is very enjoyable.

• Stay on defined trails, don't try to blaze a new road through the woods
• Don't litter!
• Leave everything as you found it
  
• Feel free to pack out any trash that you may find laying around
• Watch for blind curves, and tight spaces - many roads are wide enough for only one vehicle
• When traveling on a grade, the uphill traveling vehicle has the right-of-way
• It's much easier for the downhill traveling vehicle to backup, and to get going again once stopped.
