Wife and I go wheeling every other weekend west of Denver, haven't explored any of the southern trails. We'd be interested in an Arfcom HTF wheeling day. Anyone else in?

There are some interesting places that I've checked out for mild 'wheeling' so far.
Gold camp road, pretty mild. Mt. Herman Road, also mild. Meets up with Rampart Range Road. A 3rd place I've checked out is near 11 mile, really pretty area. I started off past Wilkerson pass, driving North - eventually over La Salle Pass and down into the tarryall area. The 231 road I would like to check out sometime. |

So far we've done:
Yankee Hill, from Blackhawk to St Mary's Glacier; pretty mild, I'd say level 3-4 Spring Creek; most definitely NOT mild wheeling, it's an 8-9 rock garden Cascade Creek loop; mild-moderate. Saw some regular trucks with open diffs. 4-5 My SO really only wants to go on level 4 and below trails for what it's worth. |

Check out traildamage.com, although it looks like only paid members can use it now?

Awesome. Very similar to my setup. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/175310/IMG-20170622-1221052-259439.JPG Looks like you're rocking some 4X Guard stuff. I'm planning to get a front guard and belly guard sometime. Maybe a WARN front winch bumper and WAM Swing Out Tire Carrier bumper too. Lots of options available now. |

Has anyone here done this trail: Argentine Pass 4x4 Road
Looks like a nice ride with some cool historical buildings and stuff.

Old Stage Road from Colorado Springs to Victor/Cripple Creek is a fun drive. It's all dirt and isn't too difficult; but spectacular views the whole way. There are some turn-offs with more aggressive wheeling as well. I did that then took County Road 69 South to Cánon City to hit Skyline Drive then back North on 115 back to COS. Lunch in Cripple Creek is a decent spot to stop and stretch your legs.

I'm planning a trip to the Ouray/Telluride area to hit some of the trails there September 13th-17th if anyone would be interested in meeting up.

I am building out my overland vehicle right now - when I'm done I'll be wheeling again.

Definitely making me wish I didn't get rid of my Jeep. I need to get the dirtbike plated to join some of these trips. |

 Always down to ride with fellow 2 wheelers

Engineer Pass was easy enough in my Nissan Frontier and it's a pretty epic trail. Takes quite a bit of time though, maybe 3 hours? And it's not the kind of thing you want to rush through. |
