TrailDamage.com

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: China Wall on November 23, 2011

Box Canyon Down the tight curve and rocky hill on FR 204 Rock Slab

Trail run by Bill S., Mike S. and Roger:
"Thanksgiving week is a great time for an impromptu trail run. Mike had a long-time friend in from Olympia, Washington, and he wanted to see what this wheeling thing was all about. Bill and Roger were both free on Wednesday and were more than willing to squeeze in one more trail for the year. Bill had his wife, Jenny, along as a passenger so we had a nice, small group for the day."

Member Trail Recommendation

Fred recommends Golden Spike as one of our favorite Utah trails (Grand County):

Why does Fred recommend it?
"The quintessential Moab trail."

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 2011 Winner

Matt on Steel Bender

The best Trail Damage of 2011 goes to Matt K. running Steel Bender on May 10th, 2011. It was day one of our spring Moab trip and his new front axle completely failed taking his locker, control arms, track bar and a shock with it. It was all under warranty but his vacation really didn't go as planned!

We don't have any 2012 contenders yet. See winners from previous years

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 2012 wall calendar is available for purchase! It's also time to add the 2011 two-DVD set 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!
