Off-Roading Colorado

[Bestop_Team]

Let's talk off-roading in CO.
Where have you been? Where do you want to go next? Anything you wish you had on the trail or could have been better prepared for?
And the ultimate question, did you need the winch?

That is an impressive list you have there!
If you had to pick top three, which ones would you choose?

I finally got mine in September.

So far

Fall River Road (Does that count lol)
Mosquito Pass
Guanella Pass

I'm very new at off roading, so nothing crazy. I did Mosquito Pass at Super Cell, the only thing I needed was the stuff to air down/up, but my fellow riders helped me out. I got my Bronco Friday and SuperCel was the next Friday.

You'd think waiting 2 years, I'd have gotten everything I needed by now lol.

My dad was a railfan, and when I was a kid he used to drive historic abandoned railroad lines in his 2WD car! It might be pretty stupid, but we had a blast and didn't get stuck.

My friend's dad was a railfan, and took us "train chasing". He'd map out the path of steam train excursions, and we'd race from crossing to crossing (speed limit what speed limit), taking photos and making recordings. This guy would sit for hours listening to steam engine recordings he made with his reel to reel deck, lol. It was an interesting cast of characters we'd encounter.
