Welcome!

These pages feature trails run by the members of TrailDamage.com (why that name?), a club based in Colorado. Here you can find information about trails in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, California, Texas and Wyoming. Each trail page contains a description of the trail, as well as trail features like rock climbing, water crossings and mud. Pictures, maps, and Google Earth information (what is Google Earth?) are featured here, with many more pictures and movies within each Trail Report.

Latest Trail Report: Lost Canyon on August 28, 2010

Basin View Big Cabin Clear Creek Reservoir

Trail run by Gary, Jeffrey, Monica and Walt:
"It's definitely not a short drive from Denver to Lost Canyon, but it's worth it. The drive from I-70 through Leadville to Granite is a pretty one. We'd been to Lost Canyon before, so this time the trailhead wasn't such a surprise. Having the GPS track ahead of time really helped."

Why does Ron recommend it?
"Italian Creek to American Flag mtn is my favorite."

Invite Only

The only way to join the club is to be invited by a current club member. We have quite a few members! We're not the usual kind of 4x4 club -- there are no membership fees and no meetings. We're just a group of friends who get together as often as possible to run trails in the area.

Trail Damage 2010

Mark on Green Day

The best Trail Damage of 2010 as of September 2nd goes to Mark U. running Green Day on May 21st, 2010. He twisted and turned his way through the trail without breaking anything, but then he popped a bead playing on the entrance to Helldorado. A little starter fluid and some fire put him all back together again. Fun!

TrailDamage.com and Google

We like what Google does with mapping and satellite imagery, so we use Google Maps and Google Earth to provide even more information about the locations of trails and obstacles. Google Maps make searching for trails easier in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, California and Texas. If you really want to see it before you get there, use the Google Earth Placemarks and Tracks found on the trail pages of this site to check out the terrain first.

Get Stuff

The 2010 wall calendar is available for purchase! It's also time to add the 2009 DVD to your collection. You can also get whole seasons of full-sized images and movies from other years on DVD, as well as cool stuff featuring the TrailDamage.com logo. Check it out!
