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 overwhelminingly better scenery.

Favorite Utah Trail: Green Day
Why? Really fun trail with consistent challenges throughout, while still being doable for normal (non-buggy) rigs.

Least Favorite Trail: Hey Joe Canyon
Why? Encroaching trees WILL scratch your paint a LOT. Not worth it on a Jeep. If you have an ATV or Motorcycle (or don't mind longer trails on a bicycle), though, I do suggest doing this trail to the end to explore the abandoned Uranium mine at the end.
