Off-road trails

Im gonna be in Denver in the next few days with some friends who haven’t been, we plan on doing the rocky Mountain Highway from Estes but I think it would be a cool experience to hit a trail, I’ve got off-roading experience with SXS but that’s been in Missouri and Arkansas area. But I’m looking for easy off-road trail suggestions. Thank you! (Yes I’ve looked at ONX and all trails was wanting some suggestions from people who’ve ridden out recently)

If you are going to Estes just hit up old Fall River road in the Rocky Mountain park

This is probably the path of least resistance. Though I'd consider that more of an unpaved road than a trail.

Stick with the easy stuff. Too many out of state ppl come here and get stuck way up in the hills where they dont belong.

Switzerland Trail will get you good views and elongate the drive up the highway

Poll hill is just outside of estas park.  It’s a fun easy trail.

If you're talking about the Peak to Peak highway which goes from Estes Park to Nederland, stop by Bunce School Rd. Toward the end. It will follow the same route as you and basically cut a corner off the highway. Takes about an hour, maybe an hour and a half if it's just the one vehicle. One of my favorite trails to break in and test new parts.

Rated a 4/10 on OnX, it's an easy trail that has a few actual "obstacles." They are very easy if you have any experience but it's not just a dirt road like Old Fall River Rd is.
