Located in the South Central Colorado there is an easy 4-wheeler trail managed by the San Isabel National Forest service. The 4-wheeler riding season is from the summer through the fall and it is a multi-use trail with lots of other traffic in the area, including other 4-wheeler riders, hikers, horseback riders, motorcyclists, and mountain bikers. Be wary as well while you ride your 4-wheeler in this area, this is a very popular area for campers and the likelihood of children playing around the edges of campsites where you might be riding your 4-wheeler is a great possibility.
This 4-wheeler trail is just over 2 miles long and is rated as easy so 4-wheeler users of any experience level will have a good time riding this scenic area. The entrance to get on this 4-wheeler road is less than 6 miles south of Westcliffe on Highway 69. The road is paved for about 6 miles then turns into a gravel junction. You will enter the National Forest area and see the entrance to Rainbow ATV Trail. This is also the trailhead for Music Pass.
Since the San Isabel National Forest manages this riding area, the standard regulations apply such as have your 4-wheeler permit clearly and prominently displayed and you must have your spark arrestor and muffler in place prior to your 4-wheeler ride. And this is a great time for new riders to put the standards of Treadlightly into effect; meaning if you bring it in with you, bring it out when you leave on your 4-wheeler. This will ensure a great ride for everyone if we keep the trails clean and leave them better than we found them.
