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: Schubarth Road on June 14, 2009

Around Rocks View from the Overlook Aspens

Trail run by Mark F., Matt K., Steve B., Terry and Tim:
"We met at the Balanced Rock parking area inside the Garden of the Gods after waiting 30 to 40 minutes to get into the park. They were having a 10K run that we weren't aware of. When we were working on getting there the sun was out, but the clouds were starting to move in. It didn't start raining on us until later in the day."

Member Trail Recommendation

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

Why does Gary recommend it?
"I've done 20 trails in Moab and several of them 5 or 6 times. The last trip we did a brand new trail called Eagle's Dare. It was close to Golden Spike with many obstacles and many very steep ups and downs."

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

Walt on China Wall

The best Trail Damage of 2009 as of July 3rd goes to Walt running China Wall on March 7th, 2009. He was coming down the rocky hill and hit a rock, breaking his window and denting his Blazer. Whoops!

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

You can get whole seasons of full-sized images and movies on DVD as well as cool stuff featuring the TrailDamage.com logo. Be sure to pick up a wall calendar, too. Check it out!
