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: Phantom Canyon on February 21, 2010

Colorful Southern Tunnel Wooden Bridge

Trail run by Gary, Jedidiah, Matt K., Steve S., Tim and Walt:
"We started the day off in the town of Cripple Creek for the Ice Festival. Ice sculptors turn blocks of ice into amazing artwork for the public to enjoy, and we really enjoyed our brief time in town. It was very cold outside, only around 16 degrees. So we did not spend too much time walking around outside with the sculptures. We did have lunch in Cripple Creek. It took over an hour for lunch, which was tough because we were all ready to get out on the trail."

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 2009 Winner

Chad on Sidewinder

The best Trail Damage of 2009 goes to Chad running Sidewinder on October 17th, 2009. He managed to make all of the tough obstacles look easy, only to break a rear axle shaft on the easiest pile of rocks. It took some effort to get off of the trail but he managed. It definitely could have been worse!

We don't have any 2010 contenders yet.

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!
