I am new to CO and to Jeeps. My dad is coming to visit from NY next week and all he has been talking about is how excited he is to see the new Jeep and go off-road. I have been looking for a good trail under 9000 ft or one that is not covered with snow in the Boulder/ Estes Park area. So far I've found nothing. If anyone knows of a good easy - moderate trail, anywhere around Denver, that is open please let me know.
Thanks

 

if you find one, pass it on. i would love to do it aswell.

 

I just got back from Denver
we took the Idaho Springs/ George town loop.
hit a little snow but my stock JK went right through it (this was last Monday)
We also did Duck Creek up to Shelf Lake off of the Quenla(?) Pass. it is outside of Georgetown, on the backside of the pass. We had to turn around, but we did not have a map and was not to sure how far we could go. Should be clearer now, it has been pretty warm since we were there

 

What to expect (remember it has been warmer)

JK made it, no problem

Gotta love shelf roads

 

we did bunce school road in february. it is up near boulder. however, i would recommend slaughterhouse gulch. i just did it with a few other ppl on sunday. there is no snow at all and the trail is a lot of fun!

 

thanks for the responses

 

I haven't run it yet this year, but Johnny Park Road near Estes is open. Its got a couple of fun sections. Here's some info:
