If you want a really cool overlay for Colorado, for Google Earth, shoot me a PM with your email address. It is an overlay for all of the forest roads, their types, uses, and locations. Pretty damned sweet if you want to plan a little back woods adventure.
Just drag and drop it in Google Earth then zoom into Colorado. You can then mouse over the highlighted trails and get info about them.
You can see from this sample that the forest road I clicked is:
4 wheel drive
Pike National Forest
Standard dirt road
Road # 347

It takes a little practice to get the cursor right to click on the highlighted lines, and it is MUCH easier the further in you are zoomed. But it is a cool tool.
