COFA ATV/UTV/4 Wheel ride at RAMPART RANGE - RAINBOW FALLS May 28th
Those looking for an accessible introduction to the Colorado Front Range will find it on this road built in the 1930s. The well-known and relatively well-maintained trail runs through 60 miles of Pike National Forest. Rampart Range isn't just a road name either, it's the name of the Front Range south of US 85, and this road runs almost the entire length of the mountain range The southern end has the most to see in terms of views and is the smoother portion of the drive.
There are many turnoffs, large parking areas, and small pull-offs where you can stop to take pictures on the Garden of the Gods end of the trail. The views of Pike’s Peak from this end of the trail are amazing.
The road was built as part of the government’s efforts to get out of The Great Depression by the Civil Conservation Corps. A marker stone exists and is a Waypoint along the trail. There used to be two marker stones, but one has been damaged and is gone except for its quartz base. The marker stone that is still intact indicates its opening and completion, in 1933.
If you're bringing your own Off-Road vehicle, make sure that it's in good working condition. Check the fluids and/or have your mechanic look your vehicle over. COFA strongly recommends that you have insurance on your own vehicle. You never know what may happen and it's best to be protected.
COFA is an All-Volunteer organization and is a designated 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your donation of $25 per vechicle provides for COFA's ministry and outreach programs including youth, men, women, and family. We greatly appreciate your financial assistance!
If you have questions, contact Wilson at 720-588-9707 or Mike at 303.880.9878. We can tell you what gear to bring, what to expect and answer any questions you may have.
Registration is required in order to receive meet-up location and ride details which will be sent via email.
