OFF-ROADING IN…Arapaho National Forest
ocated roughly three miles from downtown Grand Lake and just feet from Arapaho National Forest’s Bowen Gulch Protection Area, On The Trail Rentals is off-roading’s version of a gondola-adjacent ski rental-ing it along gravelly forest system roads (speed limit: 25 mph) or pitching and rolling along two-track paths. And since you’ll grab a hard-copy map of the trail system—color-coded by the good folks at On The Trail, which at press time was scheduled to open for the season in mid-June—you don’t have to worry about getting lost or ending up on some switchback-laden, double-fall-line trailway to hell.
