Off-Road Trails in Colorado and Utah

The following are a selection of Colorado (or Utah) trails negotiated in the past few years in either a stock, slightly modified, or very modified 2005 Grand Cherokee.  The degree of difficulty is always subjective, but we feel it is relatively accurate assuming one has some degree of backroads driving experience and thus some familiarity with vehicle capabilities and proper driving techniques, especially taking it slow when necessary.
