Wheeling in Colorado

[Gs_Jeep]

I am going to be driving through colorado and Just want to know if anybody has any suggestion of a place to do some moderate wheeling with nice country

The San Juan Mountains are great. Head down to the Ouray, Silverton area and check out some of the high pass roads down there.

I understand that right out side of Grand Junction has some great wheeling.
The 21 road is in that area and I know that Billings canyon is there also.

Yeah, 21 road, and billings are pretty much the only things there to wheel.

Check out 4x4trails.net they have a ton of listings all over colorado.

Chinaman's gulch, iron chest spring creek, carnage canyon, independance...

Tell me what level of trail you are looking for and I can set you up. ALSO try going to www.colorado4x4.org That is the site which is most like this one, for colorado. I am from Colorado so I can tell you a lot of places to go, depending on where in colorado you will be.

Let me know(pm)

Cheers

I will second this. You need to head over in this area. I went out here 5 years ago for my Honeymoon, we stayed in Durango and drover over to the silverton area and explored.

Ditto on the San Juans. Great place to be. However, snow is a problem in the passes this time of year. Check on it before you commite to that area this spring!

Definitely would recommend the San Juans as well, but I'm a bit biased as I grew up in them! Silverton is perfect for base camp as there are a ton of old mining roads all around that area. As for the passes, they are all plowed by Memorial Day weekend. I'm not sure if Black Bear is, but I know for sure that Imogene, Cinnamon, Engineer, Hurricane, and California are clear for that weekend. This is going to be a great year up there as we got hammmered with snow so the walls up on top are going to be awesome!
