we just did two day trips, there is camping up there though. No snow, just kinda cold after you get over the first mountain.

I've got some video of the trucks playing in mud puddles, uploading them now and will have them shortly.

Looks like fun!

If you guys are serious about off-roading in and around Colorado, you need to pickup Charles Wells' off road guides for Colorado.

Considered by most to be the off road Bible for Colorado.

I have that guide. Definitely a worthwile expense if you're into offroading.


Also check out colorado4x4.org or www.4x4trails.net.

Great pics...i usually hit up kingston peak at least once a month! I was up above empire on sat though. Nice pictures. It looks like you came out at Rollinsville, you can also get up there from behind Central City.

lol, yeah after purchasing that trail book we were in awe of all the trails that are out there. Saturday we were just going off of some directions that Alan printed off from that traildamage site or some other site.

now that we have the book we can plan on doing alot more and multiple ones in the same area! :D :D
