Andre the Giant Member Registered: 28/06/01 Posts: 2081 Loc: Cape Girardeau, MO	I'm planning a trip to EP, CO in April/May 2002. Any ideas on fun places to take the X? I am new to off-roading so I wouldn't want to push it too hard. We will have one week. We plan to do a little skiing while in CO too. Any info would be appreciated.

It is on highway 40 which runs along the western side of Estes Park. Your wheeling options are limited because snow seems to hang around forever in the mountains. More than likely no trails will be open. Late May is the very earliest to go wheeling and you will still encounter snowfields to negotiate and snow blocked trails. ------------------ Mine:'01 Solar Yellow XE w/ lots of toys Hers:'01 Super Black XE, 99% stock.

Oh yeah, Eldora blows. Want a 20 minute lift ride for 5 minute ski ride? Didn't think so. Plus it usually closes in mid-April. ------------------ Mine:'01 Solar Yellow XE w/ lots of toys Hers:'01 Super Black XE, 99% stock.
