• There are plenty of places to go off-roading in Colorado.mountain jeep road image by Mike & Valerie Miller from Fotolia.com
  
  Devotees of four-wheel off-road vehicles find plenty of trails to ride in Colorado. Trails are found near the capital city of Denver as well as more remote, rugged areas cut by magnificent mountain peaks. Regardless of where you ride, you should be able to find Colorado trails that range from mild to wild -- viewing historic trails, tunnels, even a glacier.
  
  

Webster Pass/Red Cone

• Webster Pass is accessible either from the town of Montezuma or from CO Highway 285 as you approach Kenosha Pass. This trail can be a bit gnarly and goes over Red Cone Mountain at an elevation of 12,801 feet. The trail includes views of snow-capped mountains and Red Cone. The trail over Red Cone Mountain is steep -- only experienced "off-roaders" should attempt it. And even they should go deliberately.
  
  

Rollins/Corona Pass

• Don't be confused if you hear people talk about Corona Pass -- it's another name for Rollins Pass. You can approach Rollins Pass either from Winter Park (the Corona Pass side) or Central City (the Rollins Pass side). This pass gives you spectacular views on either side and you'll be able to see the historic Moffat tunnel, whose trains still carry skiers to Winter Park.
  
  Rollins Pass tops out at 11,600 feet. The pass is closed at the top at Needle Eye Tunnel, but you should be able to drive about 26 miles on either side. The road is an old rail bed -- less challenging than some trails, but fun nonetheless.
  
  

St. Mary's Glacier

• St. Mary's Glacier is just off Interstate 70 west of Denver and boasts some nice ATV trails. Take the road to St. Mary's Alice and park past road #273 to ride your ATV up from there, taking trail #175. This road is very rocky and steep in spots. It does afford awesome views, including seeing a real southern glacier that doesn't melt even in the heat of summer: Little Echo Lake and James' Peak Lake.
