WHERE TO GO FOUR WHEELING IN NORTHERN COLORADO
 • Moody Hill - near Fort Collins, a challenging moderate trail. High ground clearance recommended. • Horsetooth - various trails near Fort Collins • Crystal Mountain - west of Fort Collins, most obstacles not extremely difficult. However, the final climb has loose rocks and moguls. Lockers recommended. • Kelly Flats - west of Fort Collins, trail climbs steeply out of the Poudre River Valley. One of the premier hard-core trails in northern Colorado. • Ballard Road - year-round open access to Donner Pass Hiking Trail, lower road is easy, upper portion moderately difficult.
➪ There are hundreds of four-wheel trails in the backcountry of Colorado, some indicated by the red dots above. Four-wheel-drive trails are designated with difficulty levels ranging from easy to moderate to difficult. Research trails online before you hit the road to find the four-wheel outing that suits your experience level.
➪ If you’re looking for some quick fun around northern Colorado, there are trails of varying difficulty between U.S. 34 in the Big Thompson Canyon and Colo. 14 through the Poudre Canyon. Jump into it at www.trails.com, where (with a 14-day free trial membership) you can search for trails by region, find hi-res and topography maps, guidebooks and get ratings and tips for trails you’re interested in.

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
