I have a bone stock 25’ Nissan Frontier Pro4x. Took it up the Helmet peak road (CR44->RD566->USFS322) yesterday and was pretty fun, although pretty rocky and bumpy in some sections which my wife didn’t appreciate as much as I did. What are some beginner trails/roads that off some good views along the way? Something that could be done in less than 3 hours, any ideally less rocky, even just maintained dirt roads up to a peak.

Just did Corkscrew while in Silverton. Rain, flurries, it was great. Trail was fine.

Going to be in Breckenridge Thursday and Friday, and hoping I could do the Deer Creek \ Saints John loop. Or just do some easy stuff near Breckenridge?

'21 4Runner TRD 2.5" lift, 33s, Icon suspension.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Weather looks ok Friday but the up hill on Saints might be slick? IDK.

Shout out to the Tacoma boys with the trail wisdom on the Switzerland trail incline Sunday afternoon. We got ourselves in a tricky situation on the rocky side of the steep incline in the 4runner and they helped guide us out of it. Appreciate ya and hope to see you on the next run.

Thinking of doing Imogene tomorrow. Is it closed for the season? If open, what are the conditions?

Thinking of hitting Loch Lomond before it closes on the 15th. Anyone been up there recently. Last time I was up there it was significantly more difficult than Trails Off Road is reporting. They say it it's basically a dirt road with some small rocks in places. It's this correct? I'm driving 2023 4runner TRD Premium with stock everything.

Impromptu escape. Stock F-150 handled it just fine with some patience and prior knowledge of the road.

Has anyone been there recently? A few months ago I heard of problems accessing the public road due to a resident putting a gate up. Some people went and the gate was open, some had to turn around after calling for police and them never showing up. Just didn't want to waste my time if unnecessary. Thanks.

Medicine Bow Forest, Wyoming, did some camping and trails

I have been out of town for the last 3 weeks and am looking for a trail within a couple hours of Ft Collins that may still have some fall colors. Any suggestions?

I’m planning a 3-4 days trip in the area around Creede. Planning also to go check out Wheeler Geologic area.

Currently doing some research but I thought I would ask here as well for recommendations on what else I should see, anything from trails (easy, moderate), hiking etc.

Thanks!

I'm late with these. We took a trip out late last month around peak leaf season.

Last photo is just an after wash shot.

Peak season is here. Enjoy!

I’ve been getting into some light off-roading and have ran a few trails in bailey and around jefferson. I’m wondering what trails people would recommend for someone looking for a little bit of challenge but not crazy crawling.

Old Creede is the trail head for Wheeler Monument and the Bachelor Loop. Small pullout to go past Deer Hunters cabin.

Any tame trails recommended I can take my parents on? I rode off-road with my bike at rampart often, I've all over the webster / red cone area, Argentine pass, etc.

I'm looking at have a jeep or 4runner rental that I can take them out in to enjoy the views. I was thinking something with good views slightly more removed than something like Switzerland trails or Sugarloaf mountain
