Stay The Trail Colorado OHV Trail Guide and Maps
This is the on-line companion to our printed OHV Opportunities Map. The trail guide contains driving directions and a variety of free, downloadable maps and gps tracks for popular riding areas in the state. View trailheads, photos, and videos on top of MVUMs using Google Maps.
Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM)s
The Travel Management Rule announced in 2005 requires each National Forest and Grassland to identify, designate, and map those roads, trails, and areas that are open to motor vehicle use. MVUMs are the legal record of what motorized opportunities are available on lands managed by the US Forest Service. Locate, view, and download motor vehicle use maps here.
