There are some places where even floating is not allowed though. Wading on private streams is a pretty big...

There’s still a lot of folks from out of town here, I’m not really sure why though. There are still quite a few rental and Texas plates around and half the front range still comes up to ski and boot pack skin tracks. Businesses may not be open but trailheads are definitely full. ...

Subaru is the answer here. I drive up Loveland Pass every day in the winter and have passed countless Jeeps, SUV’s, and 4x4 pickups stuck in the snow bank. Snow tires make a huge difference too though, there’s no amount of snow I won’t drive in with my beat up old Forester with snow tires. ...

[quote]Going to go against the grain here, but I wouldn't recommend Keystone for your first trip. The mountain doesn't have many greens. You will be doing the same 6-7 runs over and over again(1 run in particular).[/quote] Keystone is flat, flat, flat. Plus they have night skiing which is usually ...
