The 100 trails in this book may be the best batch ever put together in one place. Whether you are a newcomer to 4-wheeling or an experienced veteran, we guarantee you'll have fun. The trails are grouped into seven key areas in the heart of Colorado's most beautiful high country. Most are convenient to Denver and the Front Range.
A full-color format makes planning your next adventure simpler than ever. Easy, moderate and difficult routes are color coded, while symbols quickly show kinds of vehicles allowed on each trail. This includes unlicensed UTVs, ATVs and dirt bikes.
A separate mileage log ties numbered locations along the route to a custom map and "Aerial Terrain" view. GPS coordinates are provided for each numbered location and may also be downloaded free from FunTreks Web site. Included are reverse mileages for all trails and historical highlights.
Every book includes concealed spiral binding that lays flat for easy use. Heavy-duty plastic laminate cover withstands rough use. (Not available in square back format.)
This paperback is the third edition of a guide that has already established itself as the standard-setter for expertise about Colorado backroads and four-wheel trails. The 1998 and 2005 versions of this book garnered rave reviews among readers and this new Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4 Wheel Trails is certain to receive plaudits for its updates and other improvements.
