Any good destinations to ride around Glenwood Springs Colorado? Will be there around July 7-9. Just looking for a one day ride as we head further west. Help.

 

I am also headed to camp in New Castle and would like to ride the Flat Tops area but no body seems to say anything about this area on this forum.

 

i suggest taking a look at www.staythetrail.org

It's an excellent site including maps of ATV trail areas for all of Colorado. Our problem here in CO is twofold.

Pretty much anything on the eastern slope is going to be someone's land. And CO isnt just open to ATV's anymore. Designated trails offer your best bet for a hassle free day in the woods.

 

Don't know a lot about the Flat Tops. We ride east of Basalt, which is south east of Glenwood Springs. Lots of places to ride there. If you go east of Basalt past Ruedi Reservoir and the town of Merideth you can ride over Hagerman Pass and the Continental Divide all the way to Leadville. Tons of other places in that same area to ride depending on what you want.

 

You might want to check out the Marble area (Tomb of the unknown soldier) tons of riding spots in that area.
