We live in a special place. Within 20 minutes of Colorado Springs, Monument, or Woodland Park you can be in the mountains looking at breathtaking views.
Many of these trails can be traversed in the summer with a stock 4-wheel drive vehicle. Anyone with an adventurous spirit looking for an afternoon of fun can explore these trails. However, if you are looking for some challenging rock obstacles along the way that can be arranged too.
During the winter these trails morph into challenging expeditions. The snow makes gentle slopes into steep slippery paths. Drifts can completely change the landscape and approach to the trails.
Whether you are new to off-roading and wanting to explore your own backyard or are an experienced traveler looking for new challenges we have trails and obstacles to share. Come join us for one of our adventures in the Rampart Range area with a guided tour or take a class and learn how to defeat challenges you never knew you could. Our instructor is an experienced guide, spotter, and master of recoveries. Not to mention absolutely passionate about sharing his love of the outdoors.

In this class, you will learn from the experts where to attach recovery points on your vehicle and others. You will learn how to set up your winch with different recovery rigging options such as straight angles, side angles, and even doubling your pull strength. Receive guides on what types of gear are used the most for this area for recovery saving yourself time and money from struggling through the mountains of advertising on this subject. The best part actually put your gear to use and gaining valued experience by going through recovery scenarios with your vehicle.
