Product Description
The 100 trails in this book may be the best batch ever put together in one place. Whether you are a newcomer to 4-wheeling or an experienced veteran, we guarantee you ll have fun. The trails are grouped into seven key areas in the heart of Colorado s most beautiful high country.

A full-color format makes planning your next adventure simpler than ever. Easy, moderate and difficult routes are color coded, while symbols quickly show kinds of vehicles allowed on each trail. This includes unlicensed UTVs, ATVs and dirt bikes.

A separate mileage log ties numbered locations along the route to a custom map and Aerial Terrain view. GPS coordinates are provided for each numbered location and may also be downloaded free from the FunTreks Web site. Included are reverse mileages for all trails and historical highlights.

Every book includes concealed spiral binding that lays flat for easy use. Heavy-duty plastic laminate cover withstands rough use. (Not available in square back format.)

5 out of 5 stars Just What We Needed   June 30, 2010
Anne Leigh (LIttleton, CO)
This book is really fabulous. We had an older edition of a trail book that was in black and white and not easy to read. This book is spiral bound which is a bonus because when you're on the road and trying to refer to the guide it's bothersome to have to use a book mark and keep opening the book to your page. This way you just open the book to the page needed and leave it open. It has turn by turn directions with mileage from start to finish on every trail. Trail difficulty is clearly rated with lots of great color photos of landmarks, sites of interest, things you might find along the way and vehicles navigating rocks, rivers, tree roots, etc. It has it all and we can't wait to get out and use it this weekend on our camping trip. Buy it, it's worth the price if you love 4 wheeling.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing update to an already Great guide book!!!   June 26, 2010

I don't know how he does it, but Charles Wells seems to have a keen insight into those individuals who take and use their vehicles off the beaten path. This book is more than just a simple sightseeing guide. It's a vivid, well defined, and colorful depiction of the places in Colorado it describes. Yet it's easy to follow and understand without having too much unnecessary information that would distract from the trails you drive on. The entire series of FunTrek guide books are a standard bearer in the 4wheeling community and a must have for anyone looking to explore the less traveled back roads and trails in each respective state they cover. But being that the author/printer/distributor is actually from Colorado, they take great pride in presenting this as their premier book, and hopefully the others when they get revised will receive the same treatment. Arizona being one example that is in dire need of updating, as the info in that book is now going on 10 years old.

As to the actual book itself, therein lies the only complaint I can give. This book has a blind, covered spiral binding that prevents it from being folded over on itself. Therefore defeating the main purpose of having spiral binding in the 1st place. The paper and ink used seems to be of high quality and the addition of color in this version is a welcome addition and gives it more of a high quality presentation feel if nothing more. I still give it 5 stars, cause everything else, from the format, to the editing to the content and pictures are top notch. My one detraction is more like a 1/2 star deduction, but you can't rate in 1/2 stars, so thats why i gave it 5.

I'm proud to be the 1st to review the newest Funtreks guidebook, as it was released less than 1month ago as of my review date. I highly recommend this and every other one of the company's trail guide series books for whatever state/location they have one listed for.
