TRAIL DAMAGE: I give up. My jeep has gone through a LOT and has had plenty of trail damage to prove it. Many of the upgrades listed have been the result of broken parts, from the full width axles to the oil pan skid plate, even to the fact that my front Warn bumper has been cut to shorty length. Rest assured, I have broken way too much junk and spent way too much money fixing it all over the years!

Favorite Colorado Trail: Blanca Peak
Why? This trail ROCKS. Great scenery, and awesome technical stuff (and quite a bit of pucker-factor) on Jaws 1-3.
Extremely close second is Liberty trail in the Independence Trail system. Blanca still wins, though, due to its overwhelmingly better scenery.
Favorite Utah Trail: Rusty Nail
Why? Rusty Nail is a lot of fun with some very difficult obstacles along with some excellent, expansive scenic views. Riff-Raff is a blast!
A close second is Green Day with its difficult, consistent challenges; it's not much for scenery though…
Least Favorite Trail: Hey Joe Canyon
Why? Since the mine at the end is closed now, there's really no point anymore. The trees aren't quite as bad as they used to be, but they still will scratch you in places, and it really isn't that impressive of a trail for obstacles nor for scenery.
