4-wheeling and ATVing in Central Colorado
| Four-wheeling and ATVing in Central Colorado is about
high mountain passes, historic mining sites, scenic backcountry
lakes, and fantastic vistas. No mud bogs or slow going
rock crawling in this region of pine and aspen forests,
14,000-foot mountains, alpine meadows, and crystal-clear
streams. To visit Colorado for "wheeling" is to experience
world class trail riding. Many of the trails will cover
quite some mileage before hitting a difficult obstacle,
and when the climb takes you above the tree line the views
are absolutely fabulous. |

Miles of Trails
One of the key elements in the Rockies is the altitudes,
and the climbs to get there. Horsepower, low gearing, and
a 'good working order' on your trail rig will go a long way.
Many of the best riding areas are the summer range for deer,
elk, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, and mountain goats. Occasionally
mountain lion and black bear are spotted in the backcountry.
The mountain wilderness also includes many abandoned mountain
homesteads and historic ghost towns, remnants of the original
Colorado settlers, who came to the region to mine gold and
silver. Some of the routes where first used by miners to reach
their mining camps. Others follow the routes of old narrow
gauge railroad right-of-ways. For those that don't have a
four-wheel rig, local vendors offer jeep tours into some of
the more popular areas. Or you can rent a jeep or other four-wheel
drive vehicle.
