Mt. Pisgah
Difficulty Level: (Moderate for Jeeps) – (Easy/Moderate for ATV/UTV)
Lying up the hill west of the former mining towns (now gambling centers) of Black Hawk and Central City, Pisgah off-road trail (Forest Service Road 739.1) provides an important and convenient entrance into the extensive network of 4x4 trails around Yankee Hill. Pisgah is also popular because of its proximity to the Columbine Campground and is often referred to as the Columbine Cutoff.
Yankee Hill
Difficulty Level: (Moderate for Jeeps) – (Easy/Moderate for ATV/UTV)
Situated in the Arapaho National Forest and close to Denver, Colorado, the Yankee Hill 4X4 network is filled with many four-wheel drive trails, but Yankee Hill itself is the crown jewel, and hence, the area's name.
This is an excellent off-road trail for either beginners or those just looking to escape the city while being in the heart of mining country with high-altitude views.
While many refer to the area as Yankee Hill, this is the actual route that gives you the thrill of a moderate hill climb along with views of James Peak, Mt. Bancroft, and Mount Evans.
