Relocated from South Carolina to Denver

[Sasquatch SC]

Hi folks, I have been an OB member for a few years now but I just relocated from South Carolina to Denver for work. My rig is named the Appalachia Wander Wagon (keeping the name) & it is a 2019 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring w/ a few upgrades like a lift, bigger/better tires, comms, engine skid, etc.
I’m going to keep the vehicle for a couple years more at minimum & I’m going to do a few things to make it more capable like getting the bumpers cut to improve approach/departure, adding more skids, sliders & eventually an auto-locker in the rear. Until then - can anyone recommend some routes I should try somewhat close to the Denver area? The stupid moving truck still hasn’t arrived w/ most of my camping gear & tools so I’m looking at trying to find some day trips before the weather turns.

Happy to be here, hope to meet some folks & ready to hit the dirt.

Sorry I won't be able to go up that far North this weekend @carlo_donz . Not to take away from that group but wanted to gauge interest if anyone wants to do a ride closer to Colorado Springs on Sunday. I'm too new to wheeling in the area to make many suggestions. Was thinking of Shubarth loop...

Welcome! Jones Pass or Switzerland trail are some easy ones to wet the whistle.

Welcome, from a local. Great group here along the front range. (What Neal said) Several great guys leading the way on trips all over Colorado and beyond.
I'm just a little south of you here in Englewood. I try to get up to the hills as often as possible. Now is a great time to take a weekend trip up 285 to enjoy the fall colors and cooler temperatures.

Until then - can anyone recommend some routes I should try somewhat close to the Denver area? The stupid moving truck still hasn’t arrived w/ most of my camping gear & tools so I’m looking at trying to find some day trips before the weather turns.
I would recommend the 4 mile area. It's definitely Subaru friendly. Wife and I went there last weekend dispersed camped in a spot you could easily access. Watch the sun set from our secluded campsite. Was gorgeous.

The trails there are fun. It's a couple hours away but can be done as a day trip from Denver, I have done that several times.

Welcome Trey! We might go out this Sunday for a day trip. What’s your skill level and what kind of trails do you run usually?
