RATED 0-1
The zero rating usually includes county dirt roads with minor rutted areas. Roads are suggested to able to go in  2wd and enough clearance  with stock jeeps. 4wd is a possibility on these trails but not as likely with good weather conditions. The "One" ratings is also dirt roads but with only light maintenance with small obstacles & more ruts are possible. Usually trails are able to be ran in 2wd with a higher chance of needed 4wd every now and then in areas. 


RATED 2.0
This rating includes trails suggested to have mre rutted & washed out areas. Possible mud and small water crossings (6-8inches or less) depending on weather conditions. 4wd is reccomended under most circumstances unless great weather occurs then 2wd is possible in areas with proper ground clearance.  



RATED 2.5-3.0
These ratings are a little bit more difficult & include challenges that yes, stock jeep can usually complete. Please be aware & 
always drive safely over obstacles.  A lot of times trails that are rated 3 and higher don't have two vehicle width roads but have frequent passing areas available.  4wd is recommended for the majority of these trails but mostly 4-high.  Use of 4-low and lockers typically are needed here.  


 

RATED 3.5
Levels 3.5 and higher are defiantly trails to have some fun on. These trails are not suggested for drivers out on the trails for the first time or at least be sure to have someone with you in case of any tricky areas. We 
 recommend having experience and being able to be guided through areas of the trails.  These trails will include semi-deep ruts, med-large obstacles to go up or be guided through. Conditions will can also  include rocky, sandy or muddy surfaces that could be tricky to navigate through. Stock Rubicons can usually make it through these trails with ease, but you still need to be aware and use caution at all times to be safe.  Don't have a Rubicon? Our suggestion for 3.5 rated trails is at least a 2.5'' lift or higher for ground clearance, at least 31''-33'' tires and 4wd will be needed throughout the majority of these trails. 4-low may be needed in areas. Good time to try out your downhill assist in your jeep. A lot of these trails have areas to go around obstacles if your not quite set up yet.  Most of these trails also have multiple passing areas but majority of the trails are one vehicle width. Please be courteous and share the road when passing section come up. 


RATED 4-5
These trails are absolutely amazing and can give you a huge adrenaline rush!  While your out rock climbing you'll be going over not just rocks but huge boulders in areas. You'll get to get a front row seat to  Colorado's beautiful outdoors. Some of the trails seem to be extreme from start to finish. You'll also find some trails in the 4-5 rated areas that look fairly easy to get through. The reason for these trails are due to areas of the trail that don't have go around sections.  Certain areas have obstacles that without the proper setup & equipment it is impossible to get through. Stock jeeps are not suggested to attempt these areas. You will not have enough clearance for areas of these trails.  These trails you'll need to make sure you have plenty of ground clearance, tires are suggested to be 37'' or bigger. Some trails will post the minimum requirements to make it through.  Both lockers are apart of the requirements. Suggestions on these trails include strong winches, common used parts & tools to be taken with you, excellent driving skills & experience.  You're best to go in groups that can guide each other through areas of difficulty.  Without proper equipped vehicles these trails often fight back with areas that could cause vehicle damage, break down, rollover ect. Maybe your rig is not set up for these type of trails & that is totally fine. But if you find a date that groups are going out to these trails even as a spectator you'll be amazed watching the pros hit the trails.
