I finally got to do some trail riding and camping in Rampart Range with my family (Dad, brother, and son) last weekend. We didn't get to ride as much as I hoped we would. My son is still learning and I think was a little scared yet from his crash last fall. My brother did good, since he has only been riding for a few months. Even my dad did good, for being an old guy.
Here's a few pics.

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

That is Jackson Creek Road (OHV road) that goes by Jackson Creek Campground. It will connect with Watson Park Road and then into Dakan Road, eventually making a loop back to Rampart Range Road. Watson Park Road is a little bit rougher and steeper, but not too bad. I've been on Dakan road in the truck before, and it's not too bad either.
The only other trail we road was 649, Trout Creek, from the south end. The map shows it as a grren trail, but when we met 650 and turned around it was markas a blue trail. On the North end of 649, it is marked as a black trail. I rode this trail with two up, Blake was riding in front of me. I don't think I will ever try that again.

Gonna be up there this weekend again, you should come up and I can show you these places.
Jackson Creek Rd is the place to go if you want to avoid all the mayhem and the helmet-less quad-riding morons that normally congregate along powerline. Some great trails and terrain down there.
You have no idea what your missing. Power line is ok if your there during the week when no one else is, but Rampart has so much more to offer. Park in the jacksons creek area, and most all of the trails in that area are a blast.

It's okay...I'm a Doctor.

I want flames on my bike too.
When and where?
I've been working on the KLX and might have it ready for the trails this weekend. Though I'd have to trailer it.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
We will be going up Thurs. night, will be there all weekend. Probably 6 or so mi. up Rampart Range Road, past the overlook on the left. PM me your # and I can text you the location once we set up. The white GMC with the "weekender" toyhauler. Nate' will be there all weekend since she doesn't ride dirt (yet). But be warned she is armed

Oh yea, usually tear up a morning ride and then do lunch and relax a bit and head out again in the afternooner, gonna be exploring a bit too.
Cool, I'll have the SUMO with me too, so you know if I can ride it on slicks it can't be too hard
Seriously you will shit when you see these trails
Let me know if and when you head up Dana.
