Know Before You Go
Map files are from a variety of sources. Trail/area conditions vary widely and many trails and areas may have
changed significantly since the map was created. Use
your discretion and check with the local land management
agency before riding or driving on public lands. Ride and
drive at your own risk. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!
Not all routes are open to all vehicles. Follow the Motor
Vehicle Use Maps (MVUMs) and signage for the area and
ride only on trails open to and wider than your off-highway
vehicle (OHV). Almost all trails in Colorado are subject to
seasonal restrictions and closures. Call the responsible
agency before making plans to ride an area.
All unlicensed vehicles operated on public lands in the
State of Colorado must obtain a registration or permit from
the OHV Registration Program administered by Colorado
State Parks, including those of non-residents. Registration
information is available at staythetrail.org/parks.
The Sound Issue - Keep it Down!
Excessive sound from ATVs and dirt bikes
has become one of the biggest threats to off-highway
vehicle (OHV) use. Fortunately sound can be moderated.
Sound levels quoted are maximums allowed by law.
■ 96dB(A) if manufactured after 1/1/1998.
Red Feather Lakes
Spark Arrestors
Forest Service approved spark arrestors are required
on ALL public lands.
Boulder Ranger District • (303) 541-2500
Red Feather Lakes • Larimer, CO
Raymond • Boulder, CO
Most suitable for these vehicle types:
This area contains over 100 miles of double-track ATV trails and roads suitable for beginning to advanced riders. The area also contains 7 miles of
singletrack trails open to motorcycles only. Deadman Road is a county road
and is strictly off-limits to unlicensed, non-street-legal vehicles.
This unique trail west of Longmont provides many different routes that can
make for a full day. With great camping and rich history, interesting stops
include the historic Bunce School building and even a plane crash from 1965. If
you are looking for a bigger challenge, try the Ironclads route.
Seven Mile
Fort Collins • Larimer, CO
Boulder • Boulder, CO
The Seven Mile trail starts simply enough but quickly turns into a wet, rocky
road with numerous stream crossings and basketball-sized rocks. With slow,
careful maneuvering, this trail can be run in stock high-clearance vehicles.
If you’re on an ATV or motorcycle, be prepared for a bumpy ride. Experience
negotiating large rocks is essential.
Located a few miles northwest of Boulder, this OHV area provides numerous
4x4 and singletrack trails of varied difficulty. The Fireman Hill route takes you
up to the ridge summit where you can look back on the Front Range and downtown Boulder.
3
Kelly Flats
Canyon Lakes Ranger District • (970) 295-6700
Kelly Flats is notorious for Heart Attack Hill—an extremely steep and rocky
climb near the beginning of the trail. Rollovers and unintentional dismounts
are a real risk and the alternate route isn’t that much easier. Once past
the hill or its alternate, the two-track road flattens out and provides many
scenic views.
4
Old Flowers Road
Nederland • Boulder, CO
Caribou Flats offers a mix of easy to moderate trails within close proximity to
Boulder. If you are looking for a great ride with views and some great areas to
explore, including the historic town site of Caribou, this area is for you.
Rollinsville • Gilpin, CO
Masonville • Larimer, CO
Old Flowers Road is a scenic route located close to Fort Collins. Old Flowers
Road starts with an easy dirt road that winds through the foothills. A few
muddy sections can be challenging when wet. The trail finishes on Pingree
Park Road which leads back to Highway 14.
5
Donner Hill
This historic road over the Continental Divide was the original Hill Route of the
Denver, Northwestern, and Pacific Railway built by David H. Moffat in 1903. The
road starts a few miles outside the town of Rollinsville and reaches an elevation
of 11,660 feet before coming to a dead end on the east side of Rollins Pass at
the closed Needle Eye Tunnel.
14 Church Park / Blue Ridge
Sulphur Ranger District • (970) 887-4100
Fraser • Grand, CO
The Donner Hill area has great singletrack trails that are close to Fort Collins.
With trails that connect to the Moody Hill and Crystal Mountain areas, this
system has something to offer anyone who is looking for a beautiful outing in
the northern foothills.
6
Moody Hill / Crystal Mountain
The Moody Hill and Crystal Mountain trails are the closest OHV trails to Fort
Collins. Good scenery and a few very challenging obstacles combine to make
this a good nearby trail for Fort Collins residents. The entrance to Moody can
be difficult for stock vehicles, especially in wet conditions.
7
Storm Mountain
Just outside of Masonville, the trails leading up to Storm Mountain provide
amazing views of the Roosevelt National Forest. Many roads in the area
are fairly gentle, but a few steeper sections provide some fun challenges.
Combining and exploring the multiple trails in the area can provide a full day
in the mountains.
8
Pawnee Main OHV Area
Pawnee National Grassland • (970) 346-5000
Nunn • Weld, CO
This system provides a great place for the less experienced enthusiast to access the roads in the mountains outside of Fraser. Try the area early or late
in the season when snow and wet conditions can add to the difficulty if you
desire a challenge. Good camping around the area makes for a great weekend
getaway.
15 South Sulphur / West Rollins Pass
Winter Park • Grand, CO
16 Guanella Pass Trails
Clear Creek Ranger District • (303) 567-3000
Georgetown • Clear Creek, CO
The trails that lead out from Guanella Pass Road are rocky and sometimes very
narrow. Looking down from over 13,000 feet from the top of McClellan Mountain
provides for great views of the Santiago and Waldorf mines. Easy access from
Georgetown makes this a great area to explore.
17 Central City / Saint Marys Network
Clear Creek Ranger District • (303) 567-3000
Idaho Springs, Central City • Clear Creek, CO
The Main Draw OHV Area, a sandy shallow canyon within the Pawnee National
Grassland, offers off-season riding close to Fort Collins and Greeley. The open
floor of the canyon provides easy riding and exploring opportunities. Sand
drifts within the canyon provide expert riding opportunities. Open annually
from November 1 to April 9
9
Middle Saint Vrain
This large system of trails stretches north out of Idaho Springs and offers
amazing high-mountain access. Areas to explore include the breathtaking Saint
Marys Glacier and Chinns Lake. The many great climbs include Kingston Peak
and Yankee Hill.
Fairplay • Park, CO
Nederland • Boulder, CO
The Middle Saint Vrain and Coney Creek trails are challenging 4WD routes
located close to the Denver metro area and on the edge of the Indian Peaks
Wilderness. Big rocks and deep creek crossings provide lots of challenges
for experienced drivers in high-clearance 4WD vehicles. The area is also
frequented by riders on ATVs.

Located 35 miles southwest of Denver, this area features more than 22 designated trails for dirt bikes and ATVs. The trails range in elevation from 6,500
feet to over 8,500 feet with terrain and challenges varied enough for riders of all
abilities. Dispersed camping sites and fee campgrounds are available.
Hahns Peak is the predominant geographical feature in the Steamboat Lake
area. The climb to the abandoned fire lookout at the summit is over a wide track
covered in loose lava rock. The Nipple Peak and Prospector trails offer wooded
singletrack riding with tight turns, narrow tracks, and slippery roots.
The Spring Creek Road OHV Area is part of more than 100 miles of off-highway
vehicle routes in the Summit and Grand County area. Offering a variety of opportunities in both difficulty and length, the trails that wind through the forests
of the Colorado high country are easy to enjoy.
Connecting the towns of Crested Butte, Marble, and Aspen these challenging
roads offer some of the most scenic vistas of the Central Rockies. For a step
back in history, visit the Crystal Mill below the Devil’s Punchbowl on the Marble
side of Schofield Pass. Unlicensed OHVs are permitted along designated sections of these routes.
Popular northwestern Colorado rock-crawling area with a handful of trails and
rock outcropping play areas. Trails are rated from easy to extreme; however,
this area is mainly recommended for highly-modified 4x4s and custom-built
rock crawlers.
This scenic loop east of Lake City provides great riding in and out of open
timber and through open meadows. Close camping access and the bordering
Powderhorn Wilderness make this singletrack and ATV route a unique location
for riders.
Off-highway vehicle park located east of Denver off I-70 offering a motocross
track, a rally cross track, rock crawling, mud bogging, and more. Check with the

Colorado. It offers great scenery and a little bit of challenge for every level of
rider. The nearby Ellis Jeep Trail (Red Park Road) is close to 14 miles long and has
a number of wet sections so plan for a full day.
This area in Summit County offers a variety of trails from winding mountain
passes great for all vehicle types to steep and narrow switchbacks that can

The Gulches are a series of roads that lead deep into the heart of the Hayman
Burn area and the South Platte River. Closed after the fire in 2002 for restoration, they have recently opened with some restrictions to allow for some very
unique opportunities to see the forest recovery in progress.
This advanced singletrack trail requires expert bike handling skills to negotiate
the major stream crossings and the numerous extremely difficult rocky sections.
The singletrack trail becomes an ATV trail a few miles north of Lone Pine and
then continues north before terminating at the Helena trailhead.
Offering great access to Vail, Avon and Edwards this trail system has many
popular 4WD forest roads and ATV routes. With great views of the mountains
north of I-70 as well as the ski areas to the south, the area also provides access
to Muddy Pass to the north.

Divide • Teller, CO
Cowdrey • Jackson, CO
Wolcott • Eagle, CO
Buena Vista • Chaffee, CO
This area is a popular ATV and singletrack riding area just outside of Woodland
Park. With many miles of moderately difficult riding, it would take days to
explore all of this area. These trails are also close to Rainbow Falls allowing for
various riding opportunities nearby.
Free and open year round, the North Sand Hills is the only sand OHV area in the
state and provides diverse opportunities for off-highway enthusiasts. The area
has primitive camping and restrooms but no sources of potable water. Roads
east of the dunes allow access to trails on state and Forest Service land.
Located just off of I-70 west of Vail, Bocco Mountain offers spectacular views
and challenging riding for those who are looking for it. This popular area has 18
miles of singletrack trail open to dirt bike and non-motorized recreation. Some
trails are one-way at the request of riders.
23 Woodland Park

Divide over to the Tincup and Taylor Park region.
59 Pitkin Trail System
Woodland Park • Teller, CO
Steamboat Springs • Jackson, CO
Gypsum • Eagle, CO
Pitkin • Gunnison, CO
These trails lie within the area affected by the 2002 Hayman Burn, the largest
wildfire in Colorado’s recorded history. Many trails were closed during restoration
but have since reopened and provide great views of the recovering landscape.
The Percy Lake Trail is a rough, rocky, challenging ATV trail through the woods
that connect to the milder and much smoother Wyoming Trail. The Wyoming Trail
tops out at Buffalo Pass on the southern edge of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness
Area. Be prepared to yield to mountain bikers on the Wyoming Trail.
The Gypsum Hills OHV trails just north of town provide everything from scenic
drives to more difficult 4WD routes. With easy access to I-70, these trails are a
great option for someone looking for a quick trip into the mountains.
This trail network on the western side of the Collegiate Peaks connects Taylor
Park, Tincup, and St. Elmo through a series of routes open to all vehicle types.
Numerous high passes can be found within a couple hours ride or drive. The
Alpine Tunnel historic site is nearby between Pitkin and Hancock Pass.
A moderate 4WD trail that is southwest of Denver off Highway 285. Offering
some fun climbs, tippy sections, and rock obstacles, this trail is great even for
the veteran enthusiast. In wet conditions, portions of this trail can become
quite challenging.
